I looked at it again with a fresh head this morning and I was also able to view
Karen's video to the end and I had another go. I just had to post again straight away.
Eureka!
Here is my first interlocking rings rosette:
I'm a happy bunny.
Best wishes,
Fantastic!
ReplyDeletebellissimo
ReplyDeleteOOOH - very cool! I have actually done this by accident! But, I never knew there was a great use for this mistake! Thanks for the heads-up.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that Karen a marvel? Man, that woman can tat!
Fox ; ))
By accident Fox?? And it's taken me all that brain ache to figure it out!
DeleteWell done I knew you would get there. I will have a look at the video thanks for the link

Looks GREAT, Frivole!
ReplyDeleteYeah....there is hope for doing Rachel's pretty patterns, I have to go try that :-)
ReplyDeleteFantastic job!! It looks amazing!!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I didn't know that such a technique existed! It's amazing and your rosette is excellent!
ReplyDeleteBoo hooo ... I am on my 6th (or 7th?) attempt maybe, and still cannot figure how to make that last ring.
ReplyDeleteI will not give up!
I will not give up!
I will not give up! ......
Don't give up Jon! I'm on my third attempt and although the other two worked out, I'm stuck again!! I've GOT TO work this out!
DeleteWonderful! Your rings look great! Very 'Olympic' indeed!
ReplyDeleteBecause it was late last night when I wrote my comment on your previous post, I didn't realize you were referring to Karen's video #77 among her 100+(!) amazing tutorial videos! (I haven't investigated all her videos, so I missed this one, and I thank you so much for linking to it!) I'm delighted to see that for the interlocking rings she IS using a standard shuttle.
Her video #82 (the one I was referring to in my previous post) shows how to weave a long chain, and she does recommend a 'netting' needle to do that.
I wrote to Karen awhile back commending her on her amazing tatting and her exceptional videos! I was astounded that she started making them back in 2010!
I can't wait to try these interlocking rings!
Hi Kathy,
DeleteI don't mean for this one to look Olympic... I'm now trying to get to a lovely symmetrical rosette. Just one of my attempts when I was playing, I thought that looked a bit like Olympic rings.
Yes, Karen has an amazing array of videos! It's wonderful she does it all for us.
Definitely a bit of a brain puzzle this one. Just when you think you've got it worked out... it defeats you again! But I won't be beaten... I won't!
ReplyDeleteCool beans! I like this!
ReplyDeleteyeah! good for you.
ReplyDeleteI watched the video last night and for some reason I have heard of this technique, maybe at Olympics time many years ago. tried it that time, but then forgot it. Thanks for bringing this back to my attention
