Our Tatter's Guild, this month, started
tatting a Christmas tree angel. The lady with the copies of the
pattern could not make it to the meeting, but a different lady with
the pattern did come. So, thanks to my wonderful gadgety cell phone,
I photographed the pattern and can start my angel. But...I can't
start yet...because I cut my left hand index finger (crucial to
right-handed tatting) last Thursday when I was chopping leftover
chicken for chicken salad.
Oh, DUH! Typing that made me
remember that I can tat left-handed. Super cool! I can start mine. I
haven't tatted left-handed in a while. This will be slow, but fun.
Woo-hoo!
At the meeting, we
also talked about stringing pearls. What string to use. How to
prepare it. Two different ways to tie the knots between the pearls.
How to use the little tool that helps tie the knots, and how to tie
the knots without the tool. A pearl necklace is a very involved
project. They may revisit this topic in a couple months, and
demonstrate it with the proper thread and pearls, instead of the
on-hand substitute things we used last Sunday. Now I'm going to start
that angel, so I don't get too far behind.
