Roosters!

This post is in celebration of Jane's TIAS - it ended today and so many "Normans" have strutted into her in-box and more are sure to arrive in the next few days. It is the first time I've ever taken part in a TIAS and the pace was just right, thank you very much big sister.
Although I have to admit I knew what it was going to be right from the start - we don't keep tatting secrets in our family!

This is a rooster that I saw in Ireland, it was Mrs. Keneally's, she sold it the day after this photograph was taken! Now I thought that I would try and make another rooster, so I went through all of the many days instructions at once, but unfortunately because it was done at a much quicker pace and late at night, I went wrong and ended up with quite a few spare picots! So to try and cover up my mistakes I gave this rooster a little skirt and now he is an Irish one!


What are we all going to do now this TIAS is finished?
What is Jane going to do next?

  2. What a hoot. A rooster with a skirt on!!!!! Sure he's not a Scottish rooster? If so then he needs a sorran!!!!

  3. What a good idea, I suppose Irish roosters must feel the cold. I didn't take part in this TIAS, but I've been enjoying it all! - perhaps an Australian rooster should have a pair of boardshorts!

  9. Thanks for the lovely comments, the Irish rooster is a special breed, but don't ask be which one!
    Very funny Maureen - an Aussie Rooster with boardshorts!! Yep I had to keep a secret about Jane's TIAS, it was fun watching those who were taking part guess what they thought it was going to be.
    Thanks Nancy for your kind words.
