One of the great things about “tat-land” is how generous it is. I have been the grateful, happy recepient of several giveaways, (and I do enter almost every one I see!) and it is now time to give something back! It is a humble little “this-and-that rainbow” prize, with bling, tool, thread and lace!
Una de las cosas especiales del mundo virtual del frivolité es la generosidad. Estoy super agradecida y contenta de haber recibido varios premios en diversos sorteos (si, ¡me anoto en casi todos los que veo!), ¡es hora de de dar algo a cambio! El premio es un humilde “arcoiris de un poquito de todo”, con cuentas, herramienta, hilo y encaje.
- Bling: a bunch of round flat shell beads.
- Tool: a celtic wire shuttle hand made by my brother. Perfect for interlocking rings!
- Thread: a 50m hank of my rainbow hand dyed. And the winner can choose the size! I’ve got 80, 50, 20 and 10. (pictured is size 20)
- Tatting: a tiny sample of the celtic rings you can do with the wire shuttle, and a small round motif.
- Cuentas: un manojo de cuendas redondas planas de nacar.
- Herramienta: una naveta de alambre, ideal para frivolité celta con anillos entrelazados.
- Hilo: una madeja de 50m color arcoiris teñida por mi. Tamaño a elección del ganador, tengo 80, 50 20 y 10. (en la foto, hilo número 20)
- Frivolité: una muestra mínima de lo que se puede hacer con la naveta fina, y un motivo redondo.
Since I don’t post too often, and I want to give a chance to all my tatting friends, I will be keeping this open for a full month. I will make the draw on Saturday, 28th April. To enter, just leave a comment on this post. I will also be accepting entries through InTatters – one entry per person, anyway, though. I just know some people there are not into blogs. Please make sure I have a way to contact you!
Dado que no publico muy seguido en general, y quiero que todos mi amigos y amigas frivoliteros tnegan oportunidad de anotarse, voy a dejar la inscripción abierta todo el mes. Haré el sorte el sábado 28 de Abril. Para anotarse, simplemente dejen un comentario en este post. Voy a aceptar inscripciones por InTatters tambien – una por persona en total, simplemente sé que allá participa gente que no suele leer los blogs. ¡Por favor dejenme una vía de contacto con la inscripción!
This is my first giveaway, so I may be forgetting some important detail – please bear with me! Ask if you have questions, and I will be adding info as the month goes on.
Es la primera vez que hago un sorteo, así que puedo estar olvidándome de algún detalle – tenganme paciencia, pregunten si hace falta, e iré agregando más información a lo largo del mes.
I hope you enjoy this!
¡Espero que lo disfruten!

What a beautiful assortment! The colors are gorgeous together. I would love to learn to dye thread; that’s on my wishlist of skills.
Mar 30, 2012 @ 16:56:47
Hi Bridget! Nice to “meet” you! Or perhaps I have “met” you before? Do you have a blog or post at intatters?
I do not plan on writing about dyeing, as I am *such* a beginner – I can say the possibility of mess held me up quite a while, and I think the key for that is having quite a bit of clear space to work… It was lots of fun once I did it!
Mar 29, 2012 @ 00:59:10

What a wonderful giveaway and what beautiful thread! I’d really like to win!!!
Mar 30, 2012 @ 16:57:21
Hello Yuma! Glad you read this!

Enter me! I’d LOVE to have some of your hand dyed thread. What a thrill that would be! I think it is so sweet of you to do this. . .just reinforces my belief that tatters are the nicest people in the world!!
Mar 30, 2012 @ 16:58:35
Oh, yes! So much generosity! Not only with “goodies”, but also with knowledge. I love that!
Mar 29, 2012 @ 01:41:56
(6)
What a wonderful idea! You are quite generous!!
The beads are beautiful and what a talented brother to make a special shuttle for you….make me want to try the celtic tatting; haven’t been quite that brave yet!
Thank you again for the chance in your drawing.
Debbie
PS: Remember, this Sunday April 1, is International Tatting Day!!
Mar 30, 2012 @ 19:20:08
I almost waited until April 1st to announce the giveaway. I will be publicizing it then!
Do check older posts to truly admire how talented my brother is! He tatts too, and created some amazing designs, and he carved a wooden shuttle for me too (that one is not celtic, but oh so nice!)
Do try some celtic tatting – there are different was to achieve the typical woven look, some easier than others…

I’m in! Nice bling..Fun and thanks! Love the cluster map.
Mar 30, 2012 @ 19:34:28
Hi Judith! have we “met” before?
I am glad you think is fun! Biggest thanks ever
I love the cluster map too – clicking on it will make it bigger, very cool (particularly yesterday with the many visitors, yippie!
Apr 01, 2012 @ 16:57:13
Oh, I feel silly – for some reason Judy and Judith are *very* different things in my mind. Glad to see you entered, Judy!

Please enter my name too. I’m using those types of beads at the moment!!! What a coincidence. The HDT looks fantastic. My contact details are in my profile.
Mar 30, 2012 @ 19:41:40
Hi Jane!!!
I’m so glad your are in. You might like to know you are totally to blame for me having those beads in the first place! Since you posted that medallion last year… I plan on making a separate post about it with proper links to the pattern (and maybe actually *using* them!) before the month is over
Actually, you are to blame for me knowing many of the techniques I do, since your tutorials helped me *a lot* – when I started, and when I feel adventurous now!
I am glad you like the looks of the thread – I have wanted some rainbow thread for years, never really getting around to buying any. I have a lot to experiment yet as this is my very first try, but I am quite happy with its, specially how it works up when tatted (like the earrings in my “Just Look!” post)
And, you silly old moo, Of course I know how to contact you, after sending you almost daily mail during the TIAS! What fun that was, thanks again!

I can’t view any of your giveaways, I think I need to update some software or something or other.
I am curious about the wire shuttle. Please include me in the giveaway. If I win, then it will be a surprise!
Mar 30, 2012 @ 19:44:46
Hi Jon! So glad you chose to enter. You are another of my tatting teacher-heroes!
While you may want to keep it a surprise, I copied this post at the InTatters blog so you can take a look there!

What a lovely, generous giveaway! Please include me in the draw. I don’t need a thing, but I always have fun participating!
Mar 30, 2012 @ 19:47:16
Nice to see you here Diane! I agree, it is so fun to see a giveaway, one *has* to be in! Tatting is not so much about “needs” but “joys”, so you right in taking part!

wow! I love the colour of the thread. it reminds me of a court jester.
Mar 30, 2012 @ 19:52:54
Hi Catriona! Nice to see you
and glad you like the colours. It could very well go with a jester or mardi-grass theme 
Mar 29, 2012 @ 09:36:12
(17)
That thread is just lovely – and what an unusual shuttle.
Mar 30, 2012 @ 20:24:01
Hi trfox!
Have I met you on-line before? I am glad you like the thread, I can tell you I do!
We got the idea for the shuttle at an InTatters discussion about thin shuttles a year ago. Since then, Patty Dowden has started selling some super cute acrylic ones, this is not as pretty but it serves it’s purpose…
Apr 01, 2012 @ 13:24:14
I’ve been reading all the tatting blogs for a while now tho I don’t often reply on many of them. My blog is Stitching & Knitting (ourknitalong.blogspot). I am a member on InTatters but rarely go there even to read posts. I bought some of the acrylic celtic shuttles on ebay – they are really nice.
Apr 01, 2012 @ 13:52:00
Ah yes! I know your blog! You do lovely work – I remember loving your knit heart pattern in particular
Mar 29, 2012 @ 09:57:47
(18)
Oh!! It all looks so yummy!! I would love to win!
Mar 30, 2012 @ 20:25:41
Hi CindyLou! Glad to “see” you here! I love the word “yummy” used for threads and such. Goes well with my “creative succulence” view!
Mar 29, 2012 @ 10:11:42

This is one of the most colorful giveaways I’ve ever seen. Beautiful thread. Count me in.
Rosemarie
Mar 30, 2012 @ 20:29:01
There, you are in! Colourful is right, isn’t it? Rainbows are cool…
I remember one held by Jon, in two colour-themed options. Believe me, holding giveaways is fun!
Mar 29, 2012 @ 13:56:00

Interesting tool and love the beads, threads and motif. A very nice give a way!!!
Mar 30, 2012 @ 20:33:10
Hi Linda! Glad you like it, You are certainly “into” colourful too! I enjoy your blog even if Crazy Quilts are not my “thing” – my favourite in that category is the pocketbook/bag. I would use that!
Mar 29, 2012 @ 16:55:58
(21)
Spectacular giveaway! What fun some lucky person will have with all these goodies!
Mar 30, 2012 @ 20:34:08
It could be you, Marilee, it could be you!
I am so pleased you chose to enter, you are an inspiration both in your tatting and your thread dyeing!
Mar 29, 2012 @ 18:34:11
(22)
I’m most intrigued by the shuttle, as it seems like the perfect tool for Celtic work. And the thread is so very special. I also love the colorful beads!
Mar 30, 2012 @ 20:50:57
Thanks Kathy!
I don’t know if the shuttle is perfect (I’d love to try those this bone ones!) but it does its job – the thread does not get caught much in the wire, and the points can even be used for simple joins…
Mar 29, 2012 @ 19:21:34

What a lovely gift. Please enter me;)

Oh so pretty, how generous of you! Love how well the beads go with the thread colors!
Mar 30, 2012 @ 20:57:41
Hi CindyQ!
You know, I may have to try something using the beads and the thread together – I have not done it yet! In fact, I have done very little with my hand dyed thread so far…

InTatters entry: MercyPress
I love the shell beads, have never seen anything like them before/ Do the holes go thru the diameter? I don’t blog and have trouble posting on them for some reason. Vivianne’s blog used to drive me crazy. It is so neat to see different items and your thread is gorgeous.
Mar 30, 2012 @ 20:59:38
Thanks Mercy! I already replied at InTatters, but maybe others want to know too – yes, the beads have a thin hole through the diameter. Jane has a great pattern using them, which I have not tried yet (shame!)

InTatters entry from box_of_fluffies:
What a wonderful and generous lady you are! I absolutely love the shell beads/buttons too! My Grandmother used to collect buttons, and she used to make beautiful pictures from them, and also use beads and sequins. I have one on the wall in my craft room and my Mum has one too. I get so much pleasure from it. If I was to be the lucky winner I would definitely try and make something as nice as them

Hi Lisa!
I have been at the other end of generosity several times since I took up tatting three and a half years ago. And as I said, it was fun to try and make a pretty gift – so glad you think it’s lovely!
Not sure if I “met” you on line before either… I thought I was good at names, but there are a lot of tatters out there!
PS: I am not publishing it, ssssssssssssshhhhhhhh! but I had a nice laugh when I read you mail addy aloud!

Found you by way of the Ravelry tatting group. I’m PickleSoup on there. Does your brother make those wire shuttles to sell? They are very interesting. I’ve been looking at the Celtic Tatting book with intent to buy for several months, maybe it’s time. 
Thanks again for a great contest! -Peggy
What a generous offer! I would love to put my name in the hat.
Apr 02, 2012 @ 20:52:34
Hi Peggy! How nice to “see” you here, I sure know you, I remember the story of your screen name
He has not made the wire shuttles for sell, they are *really* easy to make, we just used a photo as template…

InTatters entry from DreamInSymmetry:
I just joined the forum today so this is partly my way of shyly saying “hello”. *waves*
Those beads are such beautiful – have never seen the like! Nor have I ever heard of a wire shuttle. I’m a new needle tatter, just find it so relaxing and am excited to learn more and start making my own patterns.

The thread is beautiful. You hand-dyed it yourself? Please count me in on your generous give-away.
Apr 05, 2012 @ 09:31:30
Thanks Tracy! I glad you like the thread. Yes, I have been playing around with thread dyeing for the first time this summer – I put some pics of the process here. Fun!

Mis felicitaciones. Siempre me ha llamado muchísimo la atención el tintado de cualquier material, y en especial, el de hilo. La posibilidad de crear mi propia combinación (estrambótica, en mi caso), de colores y plasmarlo en el algodón ha sido uno de mis deseos aún no realizados. Quizás algun día, si consigo los materiales adecuados y un poco de estudio y experimentación, haga algo en ese campo. Mientras, seguiré admirando los logros de otros. Saludos.
Apr 08, 2012 @ 11:18:13
¡Hola Aurora!
Yo tardé mucho en decidirme a probar con las tinturas… y soy muy, muy principiante, pero me resultó muy divertido. Lo bueno del algodón es que se pueden usar tinturas en frío… un poco más simple que andar con los hilos en caliente.
¡Éxitos en el sorteo!

Tienes un lindo blok, y muchísimos proyectos preciosos, me encanta como tiñes tus hilos, nunca lo he intentado , es que nunca vi vender esas madejas de hilo de algodon, tintes si los hay unos que se preparan en caliente, pero no los he utilizado, me encanta tu Dragon ,Me encantaria saber la medida de la naveta de alambre, parese alambre de bronce y como la utilizas para los tejidos celtas
Gracias

que interesante transportador no imagino como seria usarlo, es la primera ves que veo algo así. Los colores del hilo me encantaron, me gustaría aprender a teñir hilo de esa manera creo que seria fantástico, y las perlas se ven hermosas, es la primera ves que me anoto en algo así
Apr 13, 2012 @ 22:48:34
¡Hola Angelina!
Voy a tratar de poner fotitos de la naveta en uso antes del sorteo. Lo de la tintura no es dificil, sólo requiere un buen trecho de tiempo sin interrupciones y un poco de lugar donde trabajar…
¡Saludos!
Apr 15, 2012 @ 19:51:46
voy a estar alerta para ver las fotos, en cuanto al tiempo para teñir es lo que quisiera tener un poquito de tiempo extra, a ver si logro encontrarlo para hacer el intento y ver que resulta

This looks like so much fun! I tat and would like to think I do pretty good, but then I see everyone else’s and think mine is not that good. Please enter me in your giveaway! I would love to master celtic rings!
Apr 15, 2012 @ 11:15:09
Hello Susan!
Well, we tatters are known for being our own worst critics! I think it has to do with doing something so fine, and spending so much time looking at it, we really notice all the details. But mostly only we ourselves can see the flaws!
You are in, of course! Celtic rings have been my biggest challenge so far in tatting…
Apr 15, 2012 @ 22:27:08
This is such a wonderful way to share. I haven’t been brave enough to try celtic tatting, but plan on giving it a valiant effort soon. Don’t you love it when your family shows such an interest in your craft that they create things to make it easier for you? Kudos to your brother’s creativity on tatting’s behalf!
Debbie
Apr 15, 2012 @ 22:30:34
Oh, my brother is great! And he even learned to tatt, and has created some wonderful things – like the platonic solids!
Thanks for entering, and have fun with the celtic when you decide to try it!

Tengo una grandísima curiosidad por esa lanzadera y me encanta el hilo.
Me gustaría participar,¿Puedo.
Gracias
Apr 16, 2012 @ 06:28:45
¡Claro! ¡Bienvenida!
Apr 17, 2012 @ 07:39:47
Hola :me gustaría saber como funciona esa lánzadera de frivolité celta.¿Seria posible que nos enseñara como.
En mi anterior comentario puse mal la dirección,rectifico por si acaso me toca.
Apr 18, 2012 @ 20:24:30
Hola Paqui!
Estoy armando un artículo sobre la naveta y el frivolité celta. De todos modos, la naveta no tiene un modo especial de funcionar, simplemente se enrolla el hilo y se usa con los mismos movimientos que cualquier otra – La gran ventaja es que se la puede pasar dentro de un anillo antes de hacer otro, de modo que al cerrar el anillo este queda entrelazado en el anterior.

Hello, Love the idea you giving back. Unfortantley I’m very new to tatting, but learning, and taking the classes. That is where I seen your post, so I’m here. I’m not that good yet to do a giveaway, but maybe in the future I will be. My name is Lucy Sharer. Love the motif, and the dyed thread. The 27th is my 25th wedding annverisary. We are going gambling, a nice dinner and spend the night at hotel. Would love to win this! Would be a wonderful Annverisary present. Thank you for sharing!!!
Apr 18, 2012 @ 11:04:57
Hello Lucy!
Nice to read you here! I learned to tatt on line too, about three years ago – I did not start commenting on blogs and taking part in giveaways for a long time! There is no requirement to do giveaways of course! Have lots of fun with your tatting, that is the main thing I believe!
Happy anniversary too!

I have been following your blog for several months now & have been intrigued with tatting. I have never met anyone who does it….a lost art?
