The votes are in.
Most of the opinions were for smaller picots on the inner ring. Only one person
liked the larger picots. Several suggested no picots at all. I went with
smaller picots.
How did I manage
that????
I was practicing the
fine art of untatting on the final repeat of the snowflake. I will be using
this snowflake as a sample in situations where the skill will be judged
repeatedly. So, it has to be correct. I’ve been using picot gauges and paying
attention to front side/back side with using RODS. But, in taking out one
mistake, I twisted up this chain so badly that I needed to take stitches out to
the join for this double picot. For context, I’m using shuttles to tat this.
So, how did I manage to get both threads going through the picot?
It's impossible. I
just don’t see how I could have done this. I’ll be unwinding the little bit of
thread left on the shuttles, untying the thread from the shuttles and pulling
the ends through the picot. Then I’ll be winding the shuttles and going back to
correcting the mistakes.
All the while I’ll
be trying to figure out how this happened, so I won’t end up in this impossible
position again. I hope…….
Goodness, that’s intriguing. Shows why, in some circumstances, I let a mistake go, because I can make it worse in trying to fix it!
