Have you looked at the video on how to start with a picot? I think it would be difficult to hide the ends nicely when starting with a knot and a picot. You don't need to waste your thread though, just wind it back into a tiny ball and use on another project. <br /><br />But if you really wanted to start with a knot, I would wind the knot onto the shuttle, start the project without a knot and deal with the knot a bit further into the tatting. I think you said you were a beginner tatter? I don't know if you'll find these suggestions too complicated. <br /><br />Anyway, it's "doable" with a knot but it would be much easier without! :-)Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-50558447503306807772016-02-24T22:02:14.890+00:002016-02-24T22:02:14.890+00:00I had my shuttle all wound with thread (alot of it...I had my shuttle all wound with thread (alot of it) and cut it from the ball so one day I'll be ready to make something big. For this pattern it is tatted from the ball. If I tie the ends together to begin this project, how can I start with a picot? Can it be done or do I need to buy another shuttle to be able to go directly (no knots) from the ball?Judy U., Connecticuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09126629364818581130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-77956592974756544292014-06-07T16:31:40.782+01:002014-06-07T16:31:40.782+01:00Oi, eu adicionei um botão traduzir no topo, que nã...Oi, eu adicionei um botão traduzir no topo, que não funciona?Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-71493396648511039872014-06-07T01:45:43.552+01:002014-06-07T01:45:43.552+01:00Adorei sua aulas mas nao entendi muito bem as sigl...Adorei sua aulas mas nao entendi muito bem as siglas pq nao falo ingles.obrigadaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15806785348763604470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-85877882851608942692013-02-26T13:42:46.610+00:002013-02-26T13:42:46.610+00:00Hi Grace, you're welcome!

It is an alligator join after the large chain/ring. The pattern did call for a different join on the Victorian sets chains but this is how I did it because I found it easier.
