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!

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.

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).

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.
