That explains why ...I'm glad you got it sorted. That explains why you thought some rings were different while I was reading them as the same. I think this notation was typical of the period. We were all getting used to numbers and symbols rather than words. Everyone was doing it slightly differently. Even in this pattern some rings are written in full and some using "x" as if they could not quite make up their mind how best to do it. Thanks for inspiring me to make this again. I have posted a picture on my long forgotten rings-n-chains.blogspot.co.ukjennytatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16985205165122188387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-82436518350021905132016-07-26T18:22:17.875+01:002016-07-26T18:22:17.875+01:00Looks like it's working out!

I had to rewrite the pattern and do a quick diagram of part of it when I realized the 'odd' way of indicating the number of picots. Even so, I only finished two 'repeats' of the pattern and used it in a frame to portray a 'basket' image! I think I was happy I made it that far in the early days of my tatting. <br /><br />The book is 'known' for the portraits of the fancy ladies (amazing hairdos and clothes!) with their shuttles, which are no doubt 'knotting' shuttles.<br />It is kind of vague as to what was coming off those shuttles!<br /><br />And I'm glad you've shown these pieces that you've done, because I had no idea where that pattern started! It does make an amazing 'journey'! Wonder why they didn't at least show an arrow pointing to the first ring! <br /><br /><br /><br />Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-27595865165087181812016-07-26T17:28:46.205+01:002016-07-26T17:28:46.205+01:00Well done!Well done!Jane McLellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221433363521511688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-26217323534176725742016-07-26T15:11:13.976+01:002016-07-26T15:11:13.976+01:00Looks like it's working much better this time!...Looks like it's working much better this time!
