YEA!!!! I'm excited for you! Getting the final join figured out opened up so many more tatting possibilities for me - it's pretty frustrating to tat your little heart out on a motif and have the final join go wrong.

SO YEA FOR A NEW TATTING FRONTIER OPENING UP!

Do we get to vote on your next skill to tackle? :)
Because if we do, I'm voting for split rings - talk about possibilities... And Jon has a WONDERFUL tutorial right here:

Happy tatting!

Lelia, congratulations on conquering the twisted join. Yes, that is the first obstacle that every tatter has to go over. Your one-shuttle flowers are all so neat, and lovely threads that you used for them.

Thank you Ann for the shout out to my split ring tutorial.
