I'm not familiar at all with adapting patterns to use them, so now I'm curious. What was the path you took, and where are the "magic" bits? If I could learn how to approach it I might be tempted to make a few more of the designs I have in some of my really old tatting books too! :-DMegan Millshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04898111041830011043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-60615579151967346652015-10-09T14:36:55.879+01:002015-10-09T14:36:55.879+01:00Lovely snowflake, I agree why cut and tie when you...Lovely snowflake, I agree why cut and tie when you can do a split ring and save thread too.<br />MargaretMargarets designer cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649752567816134409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-35003026700942501872015-10-09T00:15:47.184+01:002015-10-09T00:15:47.184+01:00It was also given on a handy Hands booklet and I d...It was also given on a handy Hands booklet and I did change it, and give direction and did same thing it is an public domain and it is very beautiful.

They are so useful to avoid cutting and tying and enabling making designs all in one go. Invaluable. To me anyway! <br /><br />Split rings are really easy, split chains a little less so but have you tried Marie Smith's method for split chains? Since discovering her method, split chains now hold no fear. :-)Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-61985805666743336232015-10-08T23:06:32.811+01:002015-10-08T23:06:32.811+01:00I guess we're not allowed to ask when that wou...I guess we're not allowed to ask when that would have been?… :-) <br />Maybe I should look for the others in this series then.Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-62208956028176423752015-10-08T22:47:57.520+01:002015-10-08T22:47:57.520+01:00Very pretty!
