Round 7

I'm working on round 7 of Tat-a-Renda's tat along. I'm working the traditional way, ending off each round and then winding enough thread on to the shuttle for the next round. This enables me to tat most of the rounds with shuttle and ball.  I prefer to use the ball rather than a second shuttle whenever possible because it saves time and thread. There's a link to the pattern on my previous post.

  1. Wow! You're making great progress! I do like the black. I'm still working on round 6. It certainly is a relaxing pattern to follow!

  4. Looking great. I love black but agree it’s not easy to work with in the evenings.

  5. This is just so beautiful that I was tempted to start it as a snood. Checked, but there are too many free floating rings to be practical as a snood. Perhaps another time, sigh !

  6. The black is beautiful but so hard to see when tatting. See this video which explains it perfectly (https://youtu.be/ei9TblyksY0, minute 6:18]. It’s gorgeous though. Have you done RODS with a secon shuttle for chains? I find that’s very fast and the use a split chain to move to the next round. I first saw that on Frivole’s blog.

  7. Good point, I could do rods and avoid having to turn the work.
