Hi, I am new here 🙂

I learned needle tatting a few months ago. Although I like it, I really wanted to learn shuttle tatting. It feels more fun for my hands and brain. My work isn't as tidy as it was on needles but I know that will come with practice.

Here are my first two practice pieces. I'm not done with attempt 2 yet but I can tell I am getting a better feel for it so I'm moving in the right direction. On the first piece I had some strange extra bit on one of my ring joins, oops 😬.

I love chokers so that is what drew me to this craft. I also have a stash of crochet cotton so I was thinking this would be a good way to use it up. But, after using a Lisbeth size 20 thread on a needle tatted piece I can tell a huge difference in thread quality. So I am going to order more Lisbeth threads in size 10. I think the size 20 is too thin for me to start learning shuttles with.

I also have this desire to find the berry blue ice aerlit shuttle to complete the good aerlit shuttle collection 😂 Anyone else hunting for it?
