YOu sure can Jenny The pattern begins with the large ring on one side 05I think it can There is a note to ignore the rw or reverse work noted in the pattern 05yes CArol meant that for needle tatters only as the ring/chain is finished in needle tatting it is automatically reverse to lock in place *** Angie has quit IRC (Quit: Tatters 4 forever!) shuttle tatters, Jenny would rw after each ring/chain My eyes let me down on this motif I could not enlrage it enough to tellif she was doing up or down joins can any of you see which it is?

ANY ONE HAVE A SUGGESTION? I am doing a snowflake by Ben Fikkert. THAT'S GREAT KATE HIS WORK IS TERRIFIC He does the center ring as a "thrown off" ring. does georgia have an answer?? I am blank Would that work for this? OK WHAT IF THE MOCK PICOT WAS COMPLETED WITH A TIE A SHOELACE TRICK TIE THE LOOK OF A FULL PICOT IS THERE It keeps you from having to do the center ring as a separate round. YOU STILL HAVE A SHUTTLE THREAD You would have to use two shuttles. or finger tat IT'S POSSIBLE kATE i WOULD HAVE TO THINK IT THRU AND YOU STILL HAVE THE TAIL HIDDEN IN THE LAST RING AND THE SYMMETRY OF THE LINES IS COMPLETE *** Disconnected Session Close: Mon Nov 26 14:50:57 2007 Session Start: Mon Nov 26 14:56:07 2007 *** Now talking in #tatchat 03Bye Tine oh thank good ness bye Tine well when I was so rudely interrupted again 05okbye I WAS ABOUT TO ASK IT EVERYONE SAW WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT? bye, Tine EVERYONE GET THE IDEA OF JUST TYING OFF THE MOCK PICOT? *** tine has left #tatchat I think so ANYONE STILL THERE?
