Improving!

I started with size 3 crochet cotton & large tatsy shuttle
Last night, I did ok with DMC 80 tatting thread
YAY!
I tried reverse with rings & chains
(size 10 crochet cotton)
First attempt very uneven
Joining slows me down - still need to look at instructions & pictures to get it right
Improved when I tried again ... still needing practice

My desk is littered with butterflies, shuttles & books!
Colorful & delightful!

I hope to get good enough to manage
a bookmark - bought the book at
House of Stitches

Fantastic audio book

Kathryn Stockett
The Help

I started with the book (print) and switched to
audio book from the public library.
IMO - The story came to life with the audio!

butterflies

By learning/practicing rings and picot I've made more butterflies with different colors & sizes of crochet cotton They are fun - good practice. These (above) are made with size 10 fiber (DMC cebalia & JP Coats Royale) The butterflies (above) are made with size 20 fiber (DMC cebelia & Lizbeth) - - - - - - - - - - Today, I'm practicing the joining and reverse work. I sorta have the hang of it ... I may try the heart on the cover of the Janette Baker book I've been using The heart pattern says the skill level - intermediate The bookmark (also pictured on the cover) also says - intermediate Wish me luck!
