All about the fiber art of tatting. Share your patterns, pictures of your projects, or ask questions and look for help.
Trying to get the hang of celtic tatting, just working freehand for now. Real celtic tatting patterns are surprisingly uncommon! There are a lot of cool faux ones, but those won't teach me to use these shuttles. It doesn't look very good at all, trying to keep in mind it's just for practice.
This was a perfect project for getting the very basics of tatting down. Every time I made a mistake I just kept plowing ahead, rather than getting frustrated trying to fix it. Now that the motions feel more natural, it'll be easier to advance, maybe? The pattern is from Urban Knot Design. Even though it's chock full of mistakes, I still wet blocked it and will find some use for it somewhere.
I keep learning the bare minimum of tatting and then getting frustrated and giving up... This time I'm gonna stick with it! Please forgive all the horrendous mistakes lol.
Are Lisbeth and DMC the only people left making cordonnet? I'd really like to try more appropriate thread but it seems to barely exist!
A wooden egg I made a cover for recently. Hopefully this can help got the community rolling!
Some things I'm working on, just to get a post here showing what this community will be about.
