Or, grab a shuttle with a couple yards of fiber & make up your own!

.

We all have our favorites ....

and, we all have those patterns that never seem to be quite right.

This is from the On-Line Tatting Class.

April 2011 - to practice Joins in Split Rings.   I've tried to get this triangle done without any errors -

and have yet to succeed.   (came close last night).

It is Rosemarie Peel's pattern:  Three Point Star.

Fun time with shuttles - I may try it again in yellow fiber.   I used this color so

I'd have a better idea of what shuttle I had in hand + to get me thru the design!
