Self-Closing Mock Ring

Just added a new video on the SCMR.
Hope it's helpful to anyone who has previously thought 
the self-closing mock ring a bit daunting.

It's not, really!



I think maybe I need a new camera... It's quite hard to get a crisp close-up when in filming mode...  I'm still learning and trying to figure out how to make the best videos I can and I do wish they could be a bit clearer.  It think I'll get my daughter's camera a try next time, I'm sure it's better than mine!

My maple leaf has a SCMR in the centre

and...

One of my favourite bookmark ever 
(by Jane Eborall)
also uses SCMRs.



Best wishes,

  1. That's a very clear video. Could you do one to show the other way of closing the SCMR? I find it's a lot better. Here's a link for you. http://www.e.n.e.btinternet.co.uk/SCMRClosing.pdf

  2. Hi Jane,

    I'd not thought of doing it "another way". I shall go examine your explanations!

  5. You amaze me Diane! An experienced tatter such as you? I thought you'd know ALL the techniques! :-)

    One of my favourite patterns which uses an SCMR is Jane Eborall's flower bookmark. I think I should put that in the body of my post...

  6. Thanks for sharing, I will enjoy watching it when I have time, its not something I can very well so I might be able to improve my skill.
