#45-100 Motif Challenge
DMC Festive Tatting
HDT Yarnplayer's Lola
Yes, that would be me. Disgruntled. Not gruntled? : O
I feel a bit rudderless - beginning of the year let-down or winter blues... I just want to tat very simple, uncomplicated bits until I figure out what I want to tackle next.
This is the attempt at a border for the second pair of little, white socks for Mini-Boss. I am not pleased.
Seems I cannot keep my mind on fiddly patterns these days, and with apologies to Martha, Mrs. Mee's picots are not pleasing to me! Ruffles just are not my thing, I suppose.
I tried the pattern with regular picots, but still found it too intricate for a pair of kiddy socks, so I will do something else. There are a lot of wonderful patterns in Martha's Playing With Picots book however; I am just not in the mood for fiddly.
In fact, I am not in the mood for any of the patterns in my copious supply. *sigh* I don't know where all this is leading...
Oh, yes... I am attempting to learn EasyDraw - the free version, and am finding it very frustrating. Any thoughts on software for Mac?

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE EazyDraw so you can zonk a message to me anytime. What I like is how I'm still learning things about it too.
ReplyDeleteThose look nice! :)
ReplyDeleteIs EasyDraw for diagramming tatting patterns? If so, then my only comment is that I would like suggestions too. I have tried several programs for the Mac and not happy with any of them. Maybe I just don't know how to use them for tatting patterns.
ReplyDeleteHeather, you can download a free trial version of it to see if you like it. It is compatible with the Mac.
ReplyDeleteJane, Thank you! I may take you up on the offer if I run into trouble!
Fox : )
I have EasyDraw, but haven't really tried it yet, probably because I haven't designed anything!
ReplyDeleteI'm not into fiddly right now either. I think that's why I find the edging I'm working on so soothing. I even have the pattern memorized!
Jane would certainly be the one to ask for advice on EazyDraw! Her diagrams are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI,too, have been drifting since Christmas....I need to find a focus....I love your description...."I feel a bit rudderless"...that me too.
