r/tatting

I started this project ten years ago and decided to finish it last year.

I started tatting a week or so ago, and this is pretty much my first finished object.

I still feel really clumsy! I learned how to do split rings and this was also my first time using two shuttles. And I've just found out about mock rings... after finishing this, of course. I guess I'll have to do another one! 😁

Many thanks to u/trustmeijustgetweird who posted the link to the Elegant Snowflake pattern!

I am currently working on my first doily, Harmony by Tat-a-Renda. I've finished the first four rounds and started on the fifth one. It's tough, and slow-going, but I'm managing. I've had to cut it off and restart a few times, but alright.

I've just noticed a mistake in my fourth round. My chains are meant to be 8-8, so they can stabilize the bottom ring of the fifth round clover. One of my chains is just a chain of 8. I guess I was distracted and forgot to tat the second half of it. Do you think cutting off the two top rings this chain lays between and rettating them along with the correct chain could work ? Or would I just make it worse ?
