We have not yet got our first real snowfall here, although there were a few flurries on Halloween. Everything's at that bare and grey stage.
I am not doing much lacing right now, except for a couple of knitted lace things (2 scarves for 2 different friends). Mostly, I'm knitting and spinning for holiday gifts. With the new year, I hope to have more time for "me" things, like needle-tatting and my poor, neglected bobbin laces.
What are "Cattern Cookies?" Are they wheel-shaped for St. Catherine?

Dear gentle spiders,
Yesterday (Tuesday) we had several snow flurries & a light dusting overnight.
Then mid-morning it started snowing for several hours & now there is a good
couple of centimeters which has accumulated on all the trees & the ground.
So winter is finally here in Tartu. And I've been tatting some snowflakes.
Mary Piper's "Tatting" book has some interesting patterns. I adapted one
four-pointed motif I liked into six points. I found that by using mock rings
& split rings, cutting & tying off after making a round can be eliminated.
I would like to remind everyone about celebrating St Catherine's Day on the 25th, next Wednesday. I'm hoping to make some Cattern Cookies.
Stay warm & happy,
Pene Piip,
