 All my 'stuff' side-by-side.  I just need to remember the two patterns are a tad different -- I started with the swivel on the size 10.   Will attach the swivel on size 20 once finished with the 'length' which may be a mistake/challenging.   Will see when I get there.   And, there is yet another pattern for me to try - interlocking.    Pattern is available on Kelli's web site.

Tatted bracelets / straps

 A mess on my table.  I've got Marilee Rockley's HDT Tourmaline, in size 10 -- once I make practice pieces, planning to make a lanyard with "Tourmaline" - I have 2 skeins.  My friend, Beth, gave me some beautiful beads - should be attractive once completed.

I used my magnetic shuttles from Handy Hands - Dreamlit for the 1st & 2nd patterns.  Probably would have been easier to use a shuttle w/hook for the 3rd pattern - ie, Dreamlit.

 

The Beaded Bracelet & Charms pattern, is available on the Twisted Picot web site.    As are the Wrist and Body Strap patterns - there are FOUR patterns included.

After a little practice piece (pink fiber) I started a Self Closing Mock Ring (w/beads) using Lizbeth Size 20, Col. 139 with a large Clover Brand Shuttle.   The size 20 pattern is a tad different from the size 10 pattern; however, I wanted a narrow tatted piece --

Looks like the fourth pattern is an interlocking piece. Maybe later - will get thru that one. 

 Eventually, will choose one of the patterns for Yarnplayer's HDT.  These patterns are for swivel lobster claws.

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!!!

 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.   

 

sometimes you just need your lucky shuttle
