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
ReplyDeleteLooking 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!
ReplyDeleteLove the look of that!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to give this a go one day.
ReplyDeleteThis looks very interesting!
ReplyDeleteThank 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 :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm still ambivalent about perle/pearl tatting, though. Will share my thoughts soon
I love the christmas colors and that you have tried this so quickly I wanted to but have family coming in for my son's graduation and must put tatting on hold and clean house cause I love to put that off as much a possible :)
