   I decided not to put the picots on some of the crosses, making it more masculine.  More crosses from the Workbasket book.  This is an easy pattern to remember,  the stitch count scheme is 5.

Trade

     I traded some tatting for 12 balls of pearl cotton number 12.  Here are a few crosses made from it, using a pattern from an old Workbasket magazine.  Sure do love those little magazines.  Keep looking in the thrift store, but they are so hard to find.

     I had to get this gum/container at the check out.  I would work out great for tatting.  There are 5 dividers that fit 4 Clover shuttles and my tatting essentials.  There is enough room in the lid to keep my tatting.
