Attempt #1, 2, and 3 to create Lenore pattern. Still making mistakes but it's getting better!

Hey,

I tried it a few (around 15) times to create a lace möbius shawl... now this will be the first rainbow möbius (version 2) and I hope you like work in progress Pictures

I finished the heart from the advanced practice patterns and incorporated posted rings and nested chains for the first time. (Thank you Sparrow for that video of tips from a professional lace maker on YouTube!)

I forgot to post one of the rings but overall I think it turned out better than anything I have made so far, and it's not very noticeable unless you know what to look for 😂 I think after I block it I might sew it onto a t shirt or bag, or maybe on black fabric in an embroidery hoop. I can't decide yet, but I want to do something with it lol.

I also have completely stopped using picot gauges and am getting better at making them on my own yay!

I did some practice for a few different ways to add beads and prepped my shuttles for the Tamerlane choker!

I'm so…

I tried tatting a few years back when covid first started and I loved it, but had to stop due to work and school. Now that I'm done with school and have a stable job I can do hobbies again, and decided to go back into tatting. Absolutely love the tutorials and patterns.

This was my current wip but I had to stop due to the thread pulling on accident. Can't wait to try it some old tatting patterns now that I know how to mostly read a pattern

Hi there. I just joined up. I learned to shuttle tat in December of 2023 using various youtube links, blog posts/websites and creators on twitch. The biggest thing that has helped me is videos posted by Sparrow on Youtube. I keep getting frustrated and quitting and took a year long break because of this. But, I recently returned to tatting in honor of International Tatting Day. I finally am really getting the hang of it. This week, I decided to try a more intricate pattern and purchased and altered Sparrow's Opulence pattern into a choker. It's not completely done yet, but I love it so much that I just want to share it. I still want to add the dangles at the bottom and have to figure out closures, etc. but that's all I've got left. Finally, thanks, Sparrow. Your videos have helped me figure out the things that frustrated me…

I made this but I'm not quite sure if I like the bigger Pearls or not. They're garnets. Also not sure if it will become an Pendant or a pair of Earrings.

Hello there, I recently joined the beginner course to learn shuttle tatting. I learned to needle tat some in high school, and have picked it up again and worked on a few projects over the last year. I have really struggled with shuttles, but I like learning new techniques and want to make finer gauge designs. So far I have really enjoyed the class but I have quite a way to go to be proficient. I am very interested in needle crafts, fashion history, and lace making in general. I hope to make jewelry primarily and learn to work with beads as well. I thought I'd share a couple of my needle tatted projects for now.

I also made a tiny human recently, and decorated a onesie for her first Valentine's Day. Portable, calming crafts have helped me survive and rest throughout my pregnancy and these newborn days.

The second…

I think they go very well together but i'm not quite satisfied with the chains

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. …

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 finished Beginner's Shuttle Tatting! 🚀

Not sure why it won’t lay flat

I did it again (shrinked the pattern) ;) the beads are a mix of 15/0 Seed Beads and 2 mm rosequartz with size 30 Thread. I left it plain, without adding more beads yet. But I think I like it this way...

My grandmother sent me some pieces of our family tatting! The first motif was made by my great-great-grandmother in the 1920's or 30's, and the second was made by my grandmother herself. She carried this tote bag around every day for probably around 50 years! Proof of just how durable tatted lace really is!

It's more an everblue but I loved doing it after I got the twist of it. The thread is a size 30 with15/0 beads and some bigger ones I had here...

All done and I think got it down and learned that folded join from sparrow x ty so much and onto the next one!!

Just finished making this pattern and absolutely love how wonderfully it turned out. It's going to be a Christmas present for my best friend who wears more fancy outfits than I do and I just can't wait for her to see it.

Been working on the 3rd one. This has been fun being more detailed and still being so beginner friendly! With something like this does it always naturally curve? and will iron or pinning help with that? I like it curved just curious if that's just how it goes.

Did the 2nd pattern from the beginner pdf. Still very cute but hard to tell that rings are small and large. Maybe I didnt have even enough tension throughout for me to see. But onto the 3rd braclet from the beginner pdf starting now! :)

Sparrow’s Snowdrop pattern from the Pattern Club Box. Their designs are so much fun to work up!

1st time finishing a full braclet with brand new just opened thread!

Ive been practicing using this ugly brown thread that I thrifted, but its so useful to learn on! I know some basics so going through the course, that I've now finished, I wanted to each example, 1 at a time and share :)

Tmrw gonna start the 2nd one!

Ive been trying to focus on staying clean and also getting the picots close in size.
