It's Ready To Go!

Yup.  I am putting Heart For Misha in an Etsy shop and seeing if I can inspire myself to design some tatting patterns. Scary stuff! I could just paste it on my blog, as I have the other two designs, but it is so confronting to ask tatters to actually pay for the design that I think the fear (read hammering in chest!) is beneficial for prompting creativity.  Just my personal take on it.  : )

So, it is listed here: 

Yikes.

The tatting has improved:

#52/100    Julie Patterson's 'Around The Rings'
Jess's HTD

Big, big improvement in the stabbing method (?) of tatting with a shuttle.  I have turned the shuttle around so that the hook faces the right when I am tatting. This prevents the constant snagging I was experiencing before when I sped up the action.  All seems to be going smoothly with that adjustment and I can actually really zip along!

Hmmm.... Too late I noticed..... Too bad I joined the very end to the wrong place.  Way to go, Fox.

Frivole's and Ladytats's videos of tatting techniques were very valuable to me in figuring out how to carry out this method.

Oh, I almost forgot!  Take a look at this! 

Tatting Fool sent me this photo of her rendition of 'Maeve' (free pattern by moi).  Isn't it terrific?  Thanks TF!
