Developing ideas

 I don’t have a lot to show right now. I’m developing the ideas I talked about here. I’m still working on mastering Helix tatting technique. If I can get a bit quicker at the whole process, I see lots of possibilities and uses for the cord.


I’m also helping fine tune the ideas my favorite 3-D printer has come up with. She designed a caddy to wrangle multiple shuttles. Here’s a prototype with my Helix sample in progress:

  1. The caddy certainly helps keep threads in order. I suspect that helix tatting is never going to be quick though.

  2. That caddy looks like it would be perfect for keeping your shuttles in order. I suspect with all the "picking up and putting down" involved with helix tatting, it probably never will be fast, but not having to untangle the threads/shuttles every time you pick one up should speed up the process considerably. I'm looking forward to seeing your ideas for how to use the cord.
