Following muskaan's Picotgate Tat-along Tutorial

If you have been at all curious about the Ikuta picots, make your way to muskaan's excellent tat-along tutorial.



muskaan asked, "Is it perle tatting?" I say no. Perle tatting results in bumps or picots on either side of the core thread. I played with a couple of different ways to create the look of perle tatting in a chain, but that will have to wait for another post. Thank you, muskaan, for the tat-along tutorial on the Ikuta picot effects. It is very easy to follow and understand.

I agree with you, but as yet I have printed it out (as I find it easier to follow than having it in the iPad). But not had time to try, Very busy weekend with a visitor
Looking good what you did, well done

Like Margaret, I have the instructions printed out, but have not yet had time to give it a try. I also agree with you, although I haven't actually tried perl tatting yet. Thanks for sharing your take on all this!

Thank you so very much for playing along :-) Has energized me to complete & post Part 2 with rings ASAP . Not that you need that tut - you had already made very beautiful samplers :-)
I'm still ambivalent about perle/pearl tatting, though. Will share my thoughts soon
