Mostly tatting
Sep. 19th, 2006 08:27 pmI would like to observe that it is hard to navigate the communities in LJ, and figure out which ones are the ones I want to participate in.
So, here is the plan for becoming a proficient tatter:
-Practice on ring-only bookmark; use a variety of shuttles to figure out which one I like best. Use thick thread (size 10 Opera).
-Practice on ring-only bookmark; use size 80 tatting cotton.
-Practice on simple ring-and-chain bookmark with size 10 thread.
-Practice some more on simple ring-and-chain bookmark with size 80 thread.
-Do something other than a darn bookmark!
I want to learn split rings, Celtic tatting, self-closing mock rings, Cluny tatting, block tatting, bead tatting, and a whole lot more, but I will get to those when I get to them....
