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

Hello everyone! I'm pretty new to tatting, I started a few years ago after seeing sparrow on tiktok I think, but got ill and lost my shuttle so never progressed passed basics. I've recently started again and am super excited to learn and hopefully start bein able to do patterns!

Happy March! Our next installment of Poe inspired patterns is officially released to pattern club members! 🤗

I've done this design as a collar for the pattern, but it would work up beautifully as cuffs or an edging as well. (I may also have a secret alternate version I'll be sharing later in the month 🤫 )

I'm almost done with this beginner practice pattern and decided I wanted to make it into a bracelet. Can anyone show me examples of how to connect the ends of a piece that is similar? Should I place jump rings in the picots on both ends and just add a clasp to one? Should I leave off the last chain? Or should I place the jump rings around the base of the round where it meets the chain? Not sure what the best way to connect the ends would be in this case lol. If I wanted to add a small charm in the center would I anchor it in the picot typically or just around the chain itself? This is crochet cotton #10 so I know it's not the best quality thread.

I am getting ready to start a pattern for a dragonfly. It says to start by creating a picot at the top of the head with an overhand knot. Help, how do I do that? I’m sure it’s not as hard as I’m making it but for the life of me I cannot figure it out. Oh I should also mention that this is the start to the split ring body using 2 shuttles.

This is silly but it made me laugh. My hand just naturally finds itself in this position as I work. I thought 🤔 🧐 this looks like a llama! I shall call it the Llama hold now 😂

(Continental Knitter and crocheter so pointer finger tensioning seems to work best for me).

It's been awhile since I put out a free pattern so here's a little Valentine's Day present for you. 🖤

*Note: This the same heart motif that is already included in the advanced beginner patterns in the Beginner's Shuttle Tatting Course, but this new file includes printable backgrounds so you can make your own Valentine's cards.

Need some fresh ideas I guess... i'm trying to make little Hearts with the infinity Symbol in them... but it still is very wonky... is it only the stitch count or does someone have another idea (from left to right are the version 1 (first 3), 2, 3(green) unfortunately the green thread snapped just at the finish line... the v shape under the last is finally what I wanted it to look like but the infinity is... not so great
