Catherine Wheel Join - TIAS Day 5 Practice Piece

 

TIAS Practice Pieces for Day 5

For Day 5 - our pattern had options.   Could use a Lock Join (which I know how to do) -- or a Catherine Wheel Join (which I struggle with every time).

Previous post - I used a practice piece (Lizbeth size 20, Color 122) and tatted the pattern using a Lock Join.   With this piece, I tried to make a smooth Catherine Wheel Join.   Supposed to create a smoother outline on the chain.  Took several attempts for 4 Catherine Wheel Joins (and one lock join).   Just takes too long to do.

Left Catherine Wheel Joins - Right Lock Joins.   Flip a coin.   Meanwhile, there are more parts of the pattern to tat!

TIAS (Tat It and See)

Please visit her blogs to participate and/or follow along.  Try to guess what we are tatting.  I thought it was a caterpillar, or butterfly, or fish.   Now, not really certain!   As the days continue, and Jane provides additional pattern, will see if I'm even close to a good guess.
