A few months ago, I took out my handbag tatting while waiting for officialdom. I think it probably saved my sanity, but when I looked at it later, I realised I'd made a whole series of mistakes! The
pattern is straight forward enough, but does require a modicum of concentration. So the next few handbag tatting sessions were spent untatting. It might have been quicker to cut the messy bit out, but that seemed difficult away from home. I decided to emulate those who undo to correct mistakes, however far back! I'm working on this for an hour or so in the evenings now. I don't want it to sit in my handbag forever.
That's a tough decision to make! I tend to untat mistakes, unless they're very far back or I've shredded the thread. That happens more than I care to think about!
ReplyDeleteAdmirable! My problem is that I will undo for a long time and then randomly shred the thread.
ReplyDeleteWow, what concentration and determination you have, much more than I have!
ReplyDeleteI think you have way more time on your hands 😉😄😃
ReplyDeleteI get that bug sometimes. May the power be with you 💗
It's a very pretty color!!! :)
ReplyDeleteEven simple patterns easily yield variable counts and joins. I can sympathize with the untatting several hours each evening. I believe I've taken out more stitches than I ever put in.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tatting!
