Latest #tatting #tattersofinstagram #shuttletatting #susieklinedesigns This took days and days!! It needs to be blocked. And don’t notice the mistakes!! It’s almost 6” across done in size 20 #lizbeththread. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHiirkWggnh/?igshid=loj8mnm59bph

Done! Tatted bookmark in size 20 DMC Babylo thread. Next tatting project is set up & ready to start, in size 20 Lizbeth thread, color 139 (Fruit Fizz). Next time I will be using this delightful hand-painted shuttle from #paintatplus. Getting faster a bit faster at this! #tattersofinstagram #shuttletatting #tattedbookmark https://www.instagram.com/p/B7hk1OlJOjb/?igshid=1n0tqpgnaqyx8

Tatting progress. I turned the corner, and shortly thereafter made a mistake. I had to take out two rings and a chain, and of course I broke the thread, and then had to remember how to fix things. Besides that, my biggest issue has been trying to deal with the finished part while trying to make joins, and doing what I call “thread handling” - mostly dealing wth letting out & winding in threads as I work. Making progress! #tattersofinstagram #shuttletatting #babylothread #aerlitshuttle https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Ytsx0pboi/?igshid=12dabzucibrr6

Today is another take-my-hubby-to-work day (coworker who usually drives was out). We decided bringing the table loom might be too much of a distraction 😒 so I’m working on my tatting. I’ve known how for a long time, but I’m generally too slow (and make too many mistakes) to make much progress. I’d like to improve and pick up some speed. Last year I finally figured out the “slip & slide” method with a shuttle. (I learned long before the internet & online videos, taught myself from pictures.) This is the second iteration of this bookmark so far today (about half of the first side). #tattersofinstagram #shuttletatting #aerlitshuttle #babylothread https://www.instagram.com/p/B7WZXmDpnfZ/?igshid=1in8ojuu4x6cd

While my knee and I have not been on speaking terms today, I have used the time to practice my shuttle tatting. I am becoming more comfortable with the sliding motion (much faster!) and have learned a bit about attaching new thread and hiding ends. #tatting #shuttletatting #tattersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BwItRawJPYQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h2ethb35s89u
