TIAS 2023: Day 14
We have an alien! Is this the coolest E.T. you ever tatted? During the entire tatting game, I had a few ideas what we would be creating --- but an Alien!!! Love it Jane : ) I used a blue fiber - I think it looks 'space - ish'. Oh -- and MINUS the Catherine Wheel Joins. That I could use more practice with -- I used lock joins. [for non-tatting, the Catherine Wheel creates a smoother tatted line]. And, sigh, need to (im)patiently wait for next year's game .... Thank you Jane Eborall for hosting. Was a BLAST to tat.
I am tatted the alien with Lizbeth, Size 20, Color 651

Please visit the blogs to view all of the tatted Aliens - I'm gobsmacked by the variety of colors the tatters used.

This was my 'practice piece'. I think this alien looks really unusual with the color fiber I was using. I started a practice piece when I was practicing Catherine Wheel joins vs. Lock joins. Previous Post , link HERE. While I did get the hang of Catherine Wheel joins - it was just taking a huge amount of time for me to make them. I looked at instructions and videos. Which makes it look so easy. Maybe with more practice!!! [Plus, sew in the ends].

One arm with Catherine Wheel joins - the other with lock joins.
This was created with Lizbeth size 20, Color 125 fiber.

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!

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).
Pulled out a practice piece (Lizbeth size 20, Color 122) and tatted the pattern using a Lock Join. Will get out my other practice piece and try to figure out the Catherine Wheel Join. Supposed to create a smoother outline on the chain.
I'm also thinking my piece should not have scallops! Probably should be smooth chain. Can figure it out with another practice try.

TIAS Practice Pieces for Day 4
Once again, stumped. In Jane's Day 4 pattern, the chains curved a certain way. Mine curved the OTHER way. So, un-tat. (Lizbeth Size 20, Color 125).
Reviewed the Lock Join, in case I wasn't doing that quite right.
Well, I had the join done correctly.
Pulled out day 3 -- and it says DNRW SS --- a ha. (do not reverse work, switch shuttles)
Guess who was reversing her tatting?
Pulled out my other practice piece and
I've got it. (Lizbeth size 20, Color 122). Time to pull out my real tatting and move along with the other participants!
I still think it is going to be a fish.
