\"\"<\/a>One of the things I like about this pattern is that it’s mostly chains.\u00c2\u00a0 I figured this would work well for tatting with yarn because it’s means you mostly work off the ball and don’t need as much on the shuttle.\u00c2\u00a0 Also there are no rings to close or to open if you have to retro-tat.\u00c2\u00a0 It went pretty smoothly and I pretty happy with the pattern so far.<\/p>\n

This first little motif is just the center and I plan to just put a jump ring on it and call it a necklace pendant.\u00c2\u00a0 The next step is to tat it again in the final yarn and to add the second round.\u00c2\u00a0 The finished piece will be a large motif that will be the focal piece of a belt in yarn.\u00c2\u00a0 I got this thread specifically to match a semi-new knit dress.\u00c2\u00a0 The dress came with a thin little belt, but I wanted something that would stand out more and I think this will do the trick nicely.\u00c2\u00a0 So next up, I tat this center part again and add the next round.<\/p>\n

I tried using one of the new wooden shuttles I bought at Shuttlebirds.\u00c2\u00a0 This is the first time I’ve ever felt the need for a shuttle winder.\u00c2\u00a0 I know they make winding faster, but I’ve never really minded winding my shuttles, but winding the yarn on the wooden shuttle seemed to pull the yarn pretty significantly.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s such a nice tight shuttle I couldn’t figure out a way to wind it without pulling on the yarn and so it’s wound on the shuttle under some stress.\u00c2\u00a0 I didn’t notice this so much with the Tatsy shuttle. Felt like this was something a shuttle winder would help with.\u00c2\u00a0 The sides would still be just as tight, but I think it would help some with the angle and how hard I pull the thread to wind it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
