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…

Getting a little ahead with revealing next month's design, since I'll be out of town this weekend for birthday shenanigans! The Nevermore bookmark pattern will be released on June 1st to pattern club members. I have a few hardware kits available for this one, as well: https://www.learnshuttletatting.com/product-page/nevermore-bookmark-hardware-kit

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.

No joke, April 1st really is International Tatting Day! To celebrate all PDF patterns are 50% off, today only!

(sale ends April 2nd @ 12am EST)

It's that time again! The next installment of Nevermore releases tomorrow!

Irene is a pretty little hair clip featuring a layered three dimensional design. The double curl chains make this pattern a bit challenging, but I will also be posting a video tutorial on this technique.

There are also a limited number of hardware kits available: https://www.learnshuttletatting.com/product-page/irene-hardware-kit

I'm looking for suggestions on hiding thread ends when using finer threads. I am trying size 20 cotton when I have only used size size 10 before. I'm having a significantly more difficult time because I can't seem to fit the ends inside along with the core thread. Are there any techniques that might work better?
