Chains, Rings + Joins: Second Session

Second Session: Josephine ring (knot), Dimpled ring,

onion ring (2 different ways), hiding tatted ends - adding fiber - encapsulation, Floating rings, Self-closing mock ring (SCMR), adding bead to SCMR, Split rings.

I really enjoy the classes/sessions with Kelli. She has wonderful instruction booklets, seems so organized and knowledgeable of the topics she is teaching.

While much practice needed on my end - she has a nice way of demonstrating

the 'how to' and explains the 'why' - with original patterns to try.

She has another session (virtual education) in June

tatting a sunflower with a very unique

center -- Yeah, of course I've already signed up!!!

Workshop with Kelli Slack via virtual education, Lace Museum.

My supervisors. I'm always interested in when they come into the room (while I'm on / in zoom session). They seem to prefer listening to people on the zoom videos. This session, they were pretty quiet.

Callie gets really chatty when she brings toys into the room.

This is another practice 'tat' from our first session. Learned A LOT.

I used Lizbeth, Size 20 Colors 622 + 614.

The Intermediate Tatting, two sessions (two hours per session),

are offered via zoom thru the Lace Museum, Virtual Education. There are multiple classes/workshops listed - some holiday theme, too.

The first session covered a variety of tatting. Josephine knots, Dot picots, Double and Triple picots, Lock joins, Zig zag chains ... with more to come (beads, floating rings, split rings, SCMR, etc.). Then, you can practice what you've learned with the charm patterns - clip the charms to a bag, necklace, etc.
