My first finished piece
Hi everyone,
I only heard about tatting 2 weeks ago. Strange, because it is so beautiful and sturdy. I spent my life crocheting and when I had kids and was a single parent I had no time. Now I have grandkids and I was thinking of picking it back up. Went to YouTube and saw this tatting and was curious. I make jewelry as a hobby love to make earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. I saw some tatted earrings and that was all she wrote, I wanted to know what this tatting was. Watched many, many videos and I confused myself because there were tutorials, then there were folks going for the film shots. I learned real fast to tell the difference. I was confused as to how to proceed. I needed a class, someone to show me one way. I found Sparrows videos and she mentioned her classes. We’ll sign me up and color me there. I’ve learned so much from her beginner videos. I finally was confident in how to tat and have it look like tatting and not just knots that don’t close and all. Thank you Sparrow. I went thru the videos, then back thru, then narrowed in on specific areas I was stumbling in. I finally finished my first piece and wanted to share. I didn’t leave the ends long enough to hide, it’s going to be a struggle to hide them, but I think I should be able to, as soon as I find my needles. LOL
Aw, thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so glad my lessons were able to help you get the hang of it!
