Again I'm enjoying tatting rings with flipped stitches and chains with unflipped for this round. It really saves a lot of time and fiddling with not having to turn your work over, or rewind your shuttles.
I like how this third round adds a lot to the size of the doily in one go.
Best wishes,
Frivole
It's a beauty already!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt does look a lot like a flower. Your idea of saving time by tatting the chains in unflipped stitches sounds very good for large items.
ReplyDeleteLooking beautiful so far.
ReplyDeleteJS has some beautiful now classic doilies and you have tatted them well this one is another beauty!
ReplyDeleteMakes me think I should try this one to practice the unflipped chains! Looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend unflipped chains, they save me so much time! I hope you'll give them a try. You quickly get into the rhythm of them I find. :-)
DeleteYou do such beautiful, precision work. I'm trying your unflipped chains and I really like doing them. I'm also trying SCMRs too. I received my second shuttle yesterday (pansy) and now I'm all set. Both are beautiful and lovely to use. What do you think about Jan Stawasz's method of tatting regarding picots?
ReplyDeleteThank you Jan! Glad you are liking unflipped chains, I really think they're great. Jan Stawasz's method is in fact very similar to FS/BS tatting but he moves it one half stitch which I find can be confusing. On the back, he still starts with the first half so he ends up with one stitch and a half before a picot. I think it's easier to just do regular FS/BS tatting. I did a whole blogpost on his method as I wanted to figure out for myself how his was different and if it was worth it. I'll see if I can find the link. :-)
