It took me several goes to get right but I think I am slowly getting it. I left out the thrown ring but will try that in the next one :).
That's it for now. Thanks for visiting my blog :).
Cheers,
Jenn :).
Looks good! I haven't tried inverted tatting yet but have been intrigued by it. Which tutorial did you find the most helpful, easy to follow - Karen or Mark's?
ReplyDeleteThank you :). Both were very helpful but I found Karen's one helped me more because it was a video :). Mark's one was good too and was easy to follow as I already worked out the basics using Karen's tut. Hope that helps and makes sense :).
DeleteIt may be the look you wanted, but...most of the inverted tatting I have seen had longer connecting picots from the chain. That way, the tatting could take the shape of a leaf or a petal more smoothly.
ReplyDeleteLOL yes I know it's not perfect or doesn't look the same as normal inverted tatted pieces :). I was running out of thread and had to make the connecting picots short. There was less than 2 inch of thread left when I was done :).
DeleteThanks for your input :). Still learning and will try make them longer in my next attempts :).
Hello Jenn :-)
ReplyDeleteI've just started to learn Inverted tatting too. Usha is helping me out a bit. I'd seen your InTatters mention of Karen's video & really liked it.
I've tried a few leaves, etc. but the main snag is that I can't keep the outer chain in sync with the inner picots; it tends to want to draw/bend Away. Oh well, lots of trials on the anvil.
Congratulations on your progress, Jenn :-)
Thanks muskaan for visiting my blog and leaving a comment :). That's great that Usha is helping you :). Easier to learn when there's someone to show you :).
DeleteThank you :). I definitely need more practise and need to leave longer picots when tatting the inverted part :).
We both will get there :). Looking forward to seeing your attempts on InTatters :).
