Tartan Memories

M

Above is a picture I found on the internet of the tartans of the Atlantic Provinces, in Canada and I have chosen to make each of their tartans and eventually go right across Canada with them.

The first tartan I crochet and wove was the Nova Scotia tartan and I am in the process of doing it again as my daughter decided it should go to her home instead.  I loved working the bright colours and weaving in chains later, the least favourite but most important part is the fringing.

I have also made the Cape Breton Tartan and it is another favourite, the home province of my husband and my greatest love of the island and all that it entails.

I also did the Newfoundland Tartan and gave it to my brother in law as a gift for his and dh's sister for their kindness shown at all times.  I am also in the process of redoing this one as well.

I also did the New Brunswick Tartan from a paid pattern and it has to be redone as the pattern is way off course.  Only one quarter of the pattern was charted so I ended up with a quarter tartan and do not like it at all, so it is not fringed.

I will do the new Brunswick Tartan and then move onto the Prince Edward Island Tartan and that will give me the Atlantic Provinces.

I have also done two by my favourite tartan designer Jenny King, one was Holiday Tartan, and the other was based on the Muroch tartan.

I will add pictures when I get them moved over to the computer.



Needless to say, I am hooked.
