#45/100 Frivole's 'Minuet' tatted in Lizbeth #40
With the help of tatters who commented on the last post about the way I hold the shuttle and accomplish a DS, I have ALMOST got the action figured out so that I can use it comfortably. Thank you Ladytats, Umintsuru, Michelle and Kathy for your input. It really has helped. I am still working on it...
I'm so glad it's more comfortable. Jeanne's description is very thorough. But I think Kathy's right, whatever works (comfortably) is the best.
ReplyDeleteI've got to try the pattern. Why do I keep surfing instead of tatting? sigh.
That looks so great!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it in the blue and green! Congratulations on mastering the pattern!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOooooh, very nice! I really like that green you're using. What color is that?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, how did the Sunflower doily from the Blomqvist & Persson book turn out? I was in the middle of moving to a new apartment the day you emailed me. There was so much going on, it completely slipped my mind to write you back! Sorry about that. :)
Hi, Stephanie!
DeleteHere it is in all its glory! I am s proud of it and have given it away!

Excellent color combination - very regal! Love those two-color lock chains! Frivole comes up with such great patterns!
ReplyDeleteYou do so much tatting, I never would have guessed you have been struggling with forming the ds comfortably. It's kind of scary to think how much more tatting you'll do once you figure it out! :)
Kathy, Once again, you made me laugh! I am tickled by your use of the word' scary!' Thanks for the comments.
DeleteFox : )
very nice, I really like the colors you chose. they look very good in the lock chains.
ReplyDeleteLadytats,
DeleteI really like the colours and was wondering if I was very wrong-headed about them because my mom said they were very dull when I showed her what I was tatting. I am pleased that Tat-land has another opinion entirely! Most re-assuring. : ))
"Whoo-hoo. For motif and tatting technique.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane!
DeleteHi Fox
ReplyDeleteWell done, I have brought the pattern but as yet had not had time to make it, yours looks brilliant

Kelly - whew!!! : ))
DeleteI was lost trying to figure out your method of tatting as in your last post.
ReplyDeleteBut, this Minuet is certainly looking good to me.
Jon,
DeleteIf you felt lost, you can imagine how confused I am, trying to get the rhythm going with my clumsy style!!!
Fox : ))
That looks really great! I love it in those colours. And very nicely tatted too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Frivole! Glad you like it!
DeleteWow, that is beautiful! Looks most sophisticated in those colours too. Also, what neat tatting! Your experiments are clearly working :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh! That is really lovely indeed. Great job, Fox!
