Hearts, Minds and a Certain Ring

Definitely hearts in my mind!

I remembered I designed a heart in honour of Misha last year, and now that I have been tatting the TIAS  pattern - thanks to Margaret - I have had an epiphany!

I think I can actually re-create this pattern:

1
Here is my Misha pattern:


2
Here is my TIAS tatting to date:


3
I would like to fiddle with the pattern and incorporate that middle circle into the Misha pattern and remove the finding... I think it will work!

Then I have to figure a way to get the blasted diagram done!  I do NOT find EasyDraw very easy!

TIAS - tat it and see -  is a wonderful opportunity to learn new tatting techniques in a fun way following Jane's ingenious programme.  I highly recommend looking into it if you have not done so.  Took me three years, but I finally am participating.  Thank you, Jane!

    Love your Misha heart and think it will look good with the SCMR in the center. Could be a little tricky adding the beads but I think there's a way. Love to see it when you do it. Will be watching.
    Have fun in NY

    Has it really been a year? My, time goes so fast!

    Lovely heart, I think I'm going to go back to find that one to give it a try too!

    Oh, I loved this heart, but would never have made it because of the finding. I think putting an SCMR in there is a great idea!

    Love the heart!

    Have you tried InkScape? It's an open source free program. I've never tried EasyDraw, so I don't know how different the programs will be..

    Ooh, I really like that Misha heart. I look forward to the pattern and would love to try this. The finding in the middle adds a nice touch, too.

    I've had EazyDraw for over a year and I've found it difficult to master. Thanks to the new TattingDesigners yahoo group and Tuesday evening class, I discovered that Inkscape is available for my Mac for free! The class/yahoo group provides some tutorials on the basics. I accomplished more in an hour with Inkscape than I accomplished in a year with EazyDraw. I look forward to seeing your pattern. The design is lovely.
