After spending time at the yarn shop this weekend I started experimenting with tatting with yarn. Â This is the start of a scarf using an insertion pattern from (where else?) one of the Priscilla Tatting books. Â To understand the scale, the book it’s on is the back back cover of my bound print out of Priscilla Tatting book #2. Â This is the first of 6 rows. Â Originally I’d thought that I’d be making a belt out of pattern, but once I got started it became clear that it would end up being too thick. Â So a scarf it is. Â The yarn is a Debbie Bliss yarn and it’s a worsted weight cotton. Â Finally my large Tatsy shuttles are getting some use!
The pattern thus far is pretty basic. Â Both rings and chains are 2(-2)x5 or 5 picots separated by 2 ds. Â The next row will be the same, but the rings will interlock at the 2nd and 4th picots. Â These first two rows are going to be in white. Â The next row on either side will be light purple and then the outer rows will be purple.
I think this will be my main project for the drive up to Seattle. Â Hopefully, I’ll have it done by the time I arrive in Washington from sunny California.
