Ever since I purchased this thread from Deb Arnold of DS9 Designs, I have been waiting for an excuse to tat with it. It is NiteLite ExtraGlow by Superior Threads. I think it is around size 100.
Since everyone is on a snowflake fest I thought I would throw mine into the ring too.
This took me two days to tat since I can only tat about 10 minutes at a time before my hands start screaming at me. But at least I am back to tatting even if it is just a bit at a time.
One of my new favorite hand dyed thread is "ENCHANTMENT", I love the way it works up.
This is #9 for the 25 Motif Challenge.

Just gorgeous, the thread is so unusual and would certainly brighten up a Chrissie tree.
Hi there! Your new snowflake is awesome! I can totally relate to your glow in the dark thread curiosity! I purchased some lavendar glow in the dark thread from Deb earlier this year! I think it would be fun to get more colors, LOL! Haven't tatted with it yet, though! That frame you put it in is absolutely gorgeous! Do you mind telling me where you got that frame? I am looking for some gold frames like that for my Christmas tree since it would go perfect with my ornaments!
Your new thread is enchanting! I ♥ the colorway it is absolutely fabulous!
so beautiful. you are a trooper. Happy Tatting!
No problem Chicky, I got them at Michael's Craft store last year. Perhaps they have them again this year.
Wow, I tried tatting with some Glow-in-the-dark thread once. It drove me nuts. I applaude you for actually doing it. I bet it's pretty in the dark.
Love that beautiful new thread - such soft colours!

Sorry you can only tat short bursts. I'm praying that things get better and I'll try to be optimistic for you.
You are a braver person than me to tat size 100 thread. I first started out years ago on size 80 than moved up till I was in size 10. Now I do alot of 20 and have ventured to sizes 50 and 80 again.(But need magnifiers and lots of light to see .Lol)
Your work is always outstanding and inspirational to the rest of us! I love the glow in the dark, but probably never try it myself.
Oh dear, another new HDT I can't resist. I love the colors, and so will my mom, just as soon as I decide what to make her with it.
YeeeHawww! Glad you're back to tatting, even if it's just a little (and I do mean *little* -- size 100 indeed!). I love that butterfly, and it certainly does work up lovely in your new color!
Just love the HDT and the glow in the dark thread. You are so gifted!!

How cool is that glow-in-the-dark thread! Imagine an entire tree decorated with those snowflakes!
Your new thread is gorgeous!

LOVE the new color....and you are right, it really did work up beautifully. Grams
PS Just have to keep tempting me, eh? LOL
Hi Sherry,
Great, you are tatting again. Please try not to overstrain your hands.
What a lovely gold frame to display your newly tatted glowing snowflake.
Your ew Enchantement HDT is such a soothing colour.

beautiful!!
wow, the glow-in-the-dark snowflake's cool! very good idea! the finished product is very pretty.
of course your butterfly is too. great that you are back at tatting but do rest often and give your hands a break. :)
Oh that's so pretty, the butterfly and especially the thread, love it.
Tatting with 100 must be VERY tiring!
Awesome colorway Sherry! Glad to hear you are able to tat a little.
The itty bitty 'flake is cute. The Glow-in-the-dark thread is awesome. I have some around here someplace, but where? I have no idea!
Your new colorways are looking gorgeous. See how it works up is making it hard to resist! Take it easy and rest those hands, girl.
I love the new color, it's soft & subtle, but still very pretty! Kudos on the glow-in-the-dark thread. That's a very nice frame for it as well.
Good job of pacing yourself, so you can continue to get some tatting time in, too!
I'm enjoying my new shuttle very much!!
How cool - glow in the dark thread! It's a beautiful snowflake! I LOVE your butterfly and the thread is beautiful! As Laurence Welk used to say, "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"
