In white thread it’s looking more wintery and less quacky. I
know, that’s not a word. But sometimes tatting turns your brain….well….quacky.
What’s making me squawk? The joins in the body section.
I
wanted lots of picots for fluff. I’ve got that. I wanted to use size 80 for
proper scale. I’ve got that. I wanted to make the center dense. I’ve got that.
I’ve been so effective in working those goals into the pattern that I can’t
tell where to join! Nothing new in tatting, I know. So……
From my sewing experience, I yearn for pinning or some
marking chalk to mark the joins. Think marking darts; ease points;
buttonholes/zippers/fasteners. You get the idea. I understand there are stitch
markers in knitting. Maybe……
Gotta come up with
something or I’ll go completely quacky. Ideas anyone?
Tiny coilless safety pins!
ReplyDeleteThat would work! Now to find some for earring size thread (80)....
