The first step to making my tatted yarn belt is to make the focal piece in thread. It’s a motif from one of the Priscilla books that I hadn’t done before, but had seen recently on a couple blogs. I thought it would look lovely done in yarn as the front part of the belt, but first I had to try it in thread. My usual mode of operation when trying out a new pattern from the Priscilla books is to tatting it first in size 10 exactly as the instructions say and see how it comes out. From there I can start to make changes or adaptations, but I like to have that first version to start with. To make this one I use some of the thread I dyed a while back. I like the way it came out. Especially the variations in color in the rosette part.
The next step to to try out the center part in yarn. I think it will go well. I’m going to make
it in a variegated green that I already have wound on a shuttle, but to the right are the colors that the final piece will be made of. I plan on using the coral color for the center and the green-based variegate for the outer part.

Thanks Sue and Fox! Fox, I think it was on your blog that I first saw this pattern worked up from the Priscilla books. Love the way it looked when you did it.
