If any one knows how to get a hold of Rebecca ~ tatmom03 it is her pattern. <br />I'll post about mine on my blog tonight.Ladytatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333655818263465112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-725337483370452739.post-21100795386472704622010-11-26T17:46:08.292-05:002010-11-26T17:46:08.292-05:00Have a load of fun Krystle!

I'll be home on monday to get it to you.<br /><br />The thread is Midsummer nights Dream.<br /><br />And You might like Iris Neibach patterns, her doilies are done in that in and out type method. she has a few patterns for free on here website (you'll have to google her) I have a book of her doilies. THey are amazing but not for the faint of heart :-) she doesn't provide written directions only diagrams and some are very complex. you can get her doily book from Handyhands for cheap, her other books are more expensiveKrystlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10544211990719086456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-725337483370452739.post-41117191145005660472010-11-26T13:57:46.251-05:002010-11-26T13:57:46.251-05:00I think that blocking is part of the "artisti...I think that blocking is part of the "artistic interpretation" that each tatter brings to a design. It really can change the shape of a piece. However, there is nothing wrong with that! One look is not better than another! I've learned to consider the exact shape I want before I start blocking, because it's all part of the artistry.<br /><br />I agree with you about finishing the ends, too. I look for patterns with as few cut and ties as possible. Where I can, I use split rings, split chains, and mock picots to climb to the next round, even if that's not how the pattern is written; sometimes I will also start a pattern in a different place if that will make it easier to climb to the next round. In my own few designs, I have also tried to avoid cutting and tying. Having said all that, though, I also find that when I'm actually doing the sewing in, it's not so bad. It's just the thought of it, really.<br /><br />Jane Eborall has a cross in "Celtic" style at http://www.e.n.e.btinternet.co.uk/SallyCross.pdf. If you have Mary Konior's book Tatting with Visual Patterns, there are a couple of nice crosses in there, too. Also remember that any pattern can be dressed up with beads or metallic threads if you need to make it look fancier.Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966487848401662776noreply@blogger.com
