SCMR Round Done

I made good progress on the last round with self-closing mock rings.  I only needed to refill one shuttle once (and even then I only used half of it) so I think it was a good plan.
Design is by Jan Stawasz
(from his first Book)
Thread is DMC Babylo size 20



Do the SCMRs look ok to you?  Or is it obvious that I "cheated"?




I'm even going to show you up even closer...


I think they look ok.
Yes?


And I'm really getting into the rhythm with unflipped, reverse-order chains.
I can see I'll often be using that method from now on.
So nice not to have to reverse work.

And while I was at it, I also made a new video showing
this round of SCMRs, I'll be uploading it very shortly.


On to the next round!

Best wishes,
Frivole

    Perfect! The piece is looking magnificent and there's not a hint that you worked it differently to the traditional method.

    Wow! That is gorgeous! I don't think I'd have ever picked up on the fact that you used self-closing mock rings if you hadn't told us. I will have to keep your trick in mind for my next large project.

      You were reserving judgement in your previous comment... does it pass the test in the end? :-)

    This is *absolutely beautiful* and absolutely *GENIUS!* One of the reasons I stopped tatting was being so very tired of running out of thread constantly and, being a fairly simple tatter, I never investigated all the options I had to avoid it. This makes me want to get my supplies back out. Well, this and the fact that we have a new grand baby on the way and tiny beautiful clothes need handmade lace! :-) Love it, thank you for sharing.

      Hi La Vonda, thank you for your comment. If this has inspired you to pick up your shuttles again, I'll be happy! And a new grandchild is certainly another very good reason. If you don't like re-filling, you can also work with bigger shuttles but those are, sadly, only available in post design (i.e., the Starlit, or the giant "Tatsy" shuttle). My dream is to get a larger bobbin shuttle made... maybe I'll get my wish one day. :-)
