Hello everyone! I am a shuttle tatter and stream tatting demonstrations and tutorials on Twitch! Here is a piece I tatted last year (Clover Medallion adapted by Kendra Goodnow), it has some wintry blues that suit the weather here today.

We unlocked our 1st goal incentive and will be giving away a #tatted awareness ribbon during stream on Oct 15th! I just received the blank keyrings so now your ribbon can be a keychain! Examples shown but I will make any color ribbon for the winner. #Boobtober Donate to #BCRF at: tilt.fyi/wiNhAwrWu5

Keyrings with tatted awareness ribbons attached, one in pink and one in gray

@ravenblackhart.bsky.social has been providing boobfacts for #Boobtober, make sure you are following so you don't miss this interesting and potentially life saving info. Raising awareness during Breast Cancer Awareness Month is just as important as raising money (but also support the #BCRF)

Today's #boobfact that is related to #breastcancer and our furry friends - Did you know that our furry friends are capable of detecting breast cancer too?

You didn't think the entire stream was just watching me make lace did you? Enjoy Toffel, my emotional support potato, dancing with me as chat spams tater emotes during the potato song. Join us as we continue fundraising for the #BCRF as part of the #Boobtober team, or donate here tilt.fyi/wiNhAwrWu5

I have keychain ring blanks on the way, so if you want your ribbon to be a keychain, that's going to be an option very soon!

The Traveling Tatter @thetravelingtatter.bsky.social · 4d

It's so cute I can't stop watching halppppppp!

The Traveling Tatter @thetravelingtatter.bsky.social · 4d

Finished the ribbon in size 40, it's much smaller than the size 10. They are pink for #Boobtober; we hit our $100 campaign goal today and unlocked our first giveaway goal! When we hit $250 we'll give away one of these ribbons. Check out all the incentives here tilt.fyi/wiNhAwrWu5 #BCRF #tatting

Two tatted awareness ribbons in pink, one larger than the other. These are very durable and make great pins, keychains, even jewelry.

I finished two ribbons so far, next I'll try them in a smaller size, maybe to make earrings? The #tatted awareness ribbon pattern is by Lenore English. You can get one of these for a $50 donation through my campaign to the BCRF, or maybe win one (see my posted goal incentives). tilt.fyi/wiNhAwrWu5

Happy Boobtober! I will be fundraising all month long for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation! I have incentives set up, some new (like tatted ribbon giveaways) and some old (duck duck duck!) and some hidden. This is an amazing cause, please donate if you can: tilt.fyi/wiNhAwrWu5 #Boobtober #BCRF

I don't do subathons, but right now Twitch subs are discounted and any support would be appreciated. Also for every 5+ gift subs there will be bonus gifts added by Valorant, so for the last two days of Subtember we have the following incentives. Support is always appreciated but never expected!

The butterfly won the vote! Join us tomorrow at 5pm Eastern time to watch three tatters tackle a vintage pattern to see how we do things different (or the same). We are all streaming, find us at:

I'm working on the Flowering Quatrain Bookmark (as a bracelet) by Joelle Paulson and I thought I'd be clever and make it just a bit longer. I forgot to consider how that would change the corners and the turn, so now I'm starting over, following the pattern as written. Oops. #tatting

The dragon is finished! If you want to see the final pictures please visit collected-chaos.com and sign up for a membership (there is a free tier). If you don't have a membership, this blurry image is all you will see. This is also where I'll be posting my notes on how I added the beads. #tatting

The poll is live! Go vote on which pattern we will work on during the collab stream! #tatting #TattersOnTwitch

The Traveling Tatter @thetravelingtatter.bsky.social · 19d

The second picture is a sneak peak of the three items you have to choose from. Voting will open on Monday to decide which piece we will tat (voting will be in the Lacemakers Discord).

My Twitch streams this week start at the normal 5pm time. On Friday we have a special collab stream! Cub, Yata, and I will all tat the same piece at the same time. Let's see how we approach it. Of the 3 of us, one prefers the needle, one the shuttle, and one does both. And you decide what we tat!

Happy "Talk like a Pirate" Day! We didn't hit the goal on Twitch to have Toffel and I dress as pirates today, but we got halfway there, so... I present Toffel the Pirate! He will be around on tonight's stream, and we will be checking out the new Placid Plastic Duck DLC. See you there! #PiratePotato

The Member Feed is also where you will find notes I post about techniques, previous seasonal pattern lists, etc. There are paid tiers that will have access to more, but posts sharing knowledge will always be free. I just posted the finished pic of the Bat, go check it out! #tatting #spoopy #bat

The Traveling Tatter @thetravelingtatter.bsky.social · 22d

Even on this platform I am seeing reports of photos being stolen and work posted by the thieves claiming it as their own. Because of this I'm only going to be posting wip pictures here, to see finished pieces please visit collected-chaos.com and sign up to be a member (there is a free tier).

Look at the cute froggies! I checked and these are still available in her ko-fi shop, go check them out and give her a follow on Twitch!

ash :) @okashleyttv.bsky.social · Oct 22

for those who don't know, I make a bunch of froggy emotes to serve as a (cuter imo) replacement for pepe (which you shouldn't be using!!). They are all on BTTV and for free on my ko-fi!! You are allowed to upload them to discord and twitch w credit, but not BTTV!!

screenshot of okashley's ko-fi shop page. There are 3 listings shown: standard froggy emotes, animated froggy emotes, and pride froggy emotes. Each listing has a cover showing the frog emotes included in the listing

Finished and on the blocking board! This was a fun project, and I'm happy with how it turned out. I'll share my notes on adding beads to the center rings soon, I think it adds a nice touch. #tatting #FlyingMinorNorwegianDragon

Portion of the finished tatted dragon shown pinned to a blocking board. Dragon is purple with orange gems along the back and orange in the wings and head.

The Traveling Tatter @thetravelingtatter.bsky.social · 25d

I agree with an article of clothing and also ask that you please share a picture showing what you decide! I love tatted skulls (apologies to the people expecting skull tattoos and seeing this in your feed, but not really, lace skulls are badass)!
