Blog EntryAnother Tatting ChallengeJan 12, '08 4:23 AM
for everyone
Jane Eborall started a challenge called "Tat It and See".  She will release a pattern bit by bit and we're suppose to tat it as she post the bits.  The blog for this challenge can be found here.

For this one I'll be using DMC Petra #8 in ivory color.

This was the 1st bit:

And here is the 2nd bit:

Nothing fancy or difficult until now.  But I think I need to practice my Split Rings.  They look crappy today!  Will keep you posted about this one.

It's the perfectionist on me. lol The ring where the 2 threads go out on the 1st and 2nd photo is called a Split Ring. Do you notice the other rings are pretty and round and this one looks a little longer and not so pretty? That's the crappy part. They are suppose to be pretty and round too!

I think I need to find a better way for me to hold my thread as I am tatting. I went on a beginners site but even with crochet I always hold the thread differently to how they teach. My hand keeps cramping, perhaps it is just practice.... And lots of it that I need. Your work is so pretty.

I do to. I have rheumatoid arthritis and some times I have to get creative about how I do things with my hands. There are some hand positions that are very uncomfortable for me, so I just come up with another way of doing it. I'm of the mind there is no wrong way as long as it works, that's what matters. :-)
