I typically buy thread from handy hands online, because the only thread I can only find sizes 10, 20, and 80 in the craft stores here.

I have no idea if it's available elsewhere I'm afraid. <br /><br />Ankars is a technique of rings on rings. In the example above for example, there are four rings superimposed on each other. I believe the name Ankars comes from the initials of the women who came up with the technique.Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-75371189864606184292013-03-07T21:54:38.565+00:002013-03-07T21:54:38.565+00:00Hello, I love your work!

It's funny because the snowflake I made for my mom is the one that she wanted me to make more of, and she asked me to make 35 Christmas ornaments for her to give away as gifts next year. Of course it was the one snowflake I disliked while tatting it! <br />I am curious- how do I get ahold of the puppet thread? And I'm new to your blog, is Ankars a technique or an author? <br />Thank you !The Mad Tatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919763376421524771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-44051013185697832892013-03-07T07:21:34.808+00:002013-03-07T07:21:34.808+00:00I missed it too Suztats, and just worked with the ...I missed it too Suztats, and just worked with the pattern links.

I like first as it reminds me of the wee shamrock plant in my bedroom and the second because it's more "typical" greens. Both are fun! Thank you! I'm off to Jess!'s store, i think!<br />I love the Ankara and have wanted to understand it for a while now. Is it more freestyle? Or are you following a pattern? 70 DS sounds like a disaster waiting to happen in my hands but yours look gorgeous!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15274345764787048662noreply@blogger.com
