This is my latest experiment, a set of blue and purple variegate earrings with beads. The thread is size 20 from Germany. This is a simple and cute pattern by Nancy Tracy. Since I have been busy with Citizen Schools lately I haven’t been tatting much—for myself at least, though I’ve made a slew of butterflies—but these were quick and easy and I’ve wanted to try the pattern for a while.

Loving the earrings. Will you do a post on adding beads?
Yes, but it’ll probably be a couple of months. I want to finish the current series before getting into too much new stuff.
I have SSS as well, but fior me it make my hands shake. I have Essential Tremor but the Irlen lenses reduce the tremor! So cool to read about your experience. I have passed the link to the blog to a friend who gets migraines from florescent lights. Thanks so much for talking about this!
Round 4 works in toward the centre of the motif joined over base of the rings of Round 1 using only single shuttle.
