This week end spent by me having fun with my threads and shuttles.
But some of it didn't turn out really well. Here's what happened
I love the pattern that Vinnie kindly shared on her blog . It's really beautiful and challenging. The first
flower on the center is already giving me a hard time. I don't know what's wrong, but I cannot make 5 petals without overlapping another rings. And my other problem is I can't make a smooth join between split ring and normal ring. All I get is dimpled join ^_^. After 1 layer, I decided to stop making it. It hurts to see such a pretty pattern destroyed by my hand.

Then I tried another pattern. Instantly I fall for cute pattern by Ellen Lai. The butterflies are (easily noticed) having uneven wings. I hope practice really makes perfect ^_^. My friend said it was cute enough. But, still...not so good for me!
Finally, I had chance to try covering plastic ring. I'm not making any pattern with the ring. Only try to cover the ring. Yippie...I did it...LOL I'm overreacted, don't I? ^_^
That's all I got for weekend...between cooking and watching tv...I'm a slow tatter ^_^. I also spend some time to check on my tatted animal. Still messy with all the threads left. But I intend to sew them on small blanket, so I guess I dont have to cut them until I sew them, do I?
Can't wait until next weekend. So I can tat all day ^_^

Hi,
That looks pretty pretty!!!!
Thanks for trying put my pattern.
It is a little difficult to get the rngs in the split ring to look like real ring especially if the two halves are not equal(as you find in this pattern) but with a little practice you'll get it.
The best thing I think is to keep the tatting a little snug and tighten the core tread a little as it gives a consistent feel to the tatting and all the rings look even.
:::* I think I'm getting lost in my own words.....
Tell me if you can make out any sense.
Thanks again!
Luv,
Vinnie
It looks like you've been very busy tatting up a storm! :)
I like all the different patterns you try. Whenever I try a new pattern, I get frustrated mostly. It sure would be easier if someone would sit with me and just show me how to do it, right? I think your tatting is very pretty and the flowers look very nice. Linda
