These two examples were done using a Crochet #8 thread.

Another attempt at needle tatting.I purchased the (crochet)thread at the recent Stitches and Craft Show,as a "must have" because of it's brilliant colouring.My poor butterfly compares poorly with the example in the book,but I guess I have to start "somewhere"!
