The Better Bat
Really -- how dare someone post such a piece of unmitigated garbage? I tatted the bat last night and discovered that I didn't do what I thought I did at all. So, I fixed the pattern. This one really IS what I do.This time I used the double-double stitch -- the whole thing -- on the wings. The little bat is so much more substantial and looks better to me. Of course, I still pinned them out on the starch board so I could stretch those little fingers and toes into claws. This is better though, much better. Anybody that printed out the other pattern, please throw it away!

Must be that time of the year, Marty. I really made a mess of my witch!!! I started it before I went on holiday and wrongly assumed it was finished when I came back and published it!!! You're not alone!!! I LOVE your little bat and sincerely wish I'd designed it.
Again, appreciate your efforts (and angst)! It's a clever design. It's also interesting to see what our talented tatting designers go through!
Don't worry we all do it, and I am sure no one will complain, I must try your bat he looks great.

Thanks for the bat pattern. I have been using Mark's bat pattern and it is nice to have a mix of different bats!! Will tat some up and put them on my pumpkin wallhanging.
