LDavies rainbow http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2008/lindadrainbow.pdf OK AK 12and if you leave a few picots on the outside edge, it will give you somewhere to anchor more rings/chains on the outer side of the "round" rainbow not yet MY FIRST COMMENT IS TO DEFINE THE "two" AT THE END OF THE ROWS I GOT THE COLOURS OF THE RAINBOW OUT OF THE DICTIONARY FIRST 05o TURN THE WORK OVER = TWO FOR MORE INFO http://www.georgiaseitz.com/classes/turningwork.html IT TOOK MORE TIME TRYING TO WORK OUT HOW MUCH THREAD TO WIND I USE THE CTM METHOD *** Rozellalinden has joined #tatchat SO THAT THERE ARE NOT TOO MANY JOINS 06TWO is that like the page of the book? WELCOME RUTH'S DOPPELGANGER RIGHT CN 12Ruth, am I seeing double? 05HI Rozella WITH SO MANY COLOURS THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOME CUTTING AND TIE 12Boy, do I appreciate estimates of how much thread!! 06thanks it didn't print on my printout but it was on the lesson Someone's cloned Ruth! 2 RUTHS? I'm here, and so am I... Dr Jekel and Mrs. Hide 06definately on how much thread--thanks that will sure help tee hee THE THREAD ESTIMATE WAS THE HARDEST PART NANCY CTM = http://members.aol.com/SLWelker/ctm.html CONTINUOUS THREAD METHOD GASP OH NO! NOT CUT AND TIE! How did you come up with the estimates for thread length? DID EVERYONE GET THE CTM 05what is CTM? 06yes 12yes 06I already had it CONTINUOUS THREAD METHOD TINE http://members.aol.com/SLWelker/ctm.html I GUESSED THE AMOUNT, THEN TATTED, THEN MEASURED WHAT WAS LEFT Yes, thread estimates are very helpful 05thanks 03ok THE RAINBOW PATTERN IS VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD K 05y 12Thanks for using "inches" instead of centimeters or meters.... I've thought about doing that, but with different tension, and different thread size and brands I thought I'd be wrong sometimes 12I'll probably add a smidge more because I'm a bit loose with my stitches sometimes BRB I STARTE WITH A CH OF 4DS WITH VSP BETWEEN I have two shuttles loaded 12I don't always use the size thread the pattern says to use, but it still helps when you have some length to "start" with. I DID 2 ROWS OF EACH COLOUR 05yes 12Smaller thread usuallyuses a bit less, bigger thread uses more. INCREASING I DS ON EACH CHANGE OF COLOUR 06on the second row do you do unflipped like on the second half of a split ring? do we tie the two ends together? 12How big is the completed rainbow? I think I missed that.... NO CYNTHIA, I DID THE SHOE LACE TRICK AND CHANGED SHUTTLES 06oh I missed that.... OK IT IS ABOUT 2 INCHES AND 1 INCH STEPHANIE this too complicated for me 12it's a good bit smaller in size 50 thread. ;-) newbie here 03I'll start it tomorrow AFTER CHANGING SHUTTLE I TURNED THE WORK OVER 06Heather don't give up...it isn't as hard as you think 05ok LIKE TURNING THE PAGES OF A BOOK ABBREV FOR THIS IS TWO k do I tie the two together to start? SHOE LACE TRICK = http://www.georgiaseitz.com/classes2001/fall2001/shoelace.html THE HARDEST PART WAS HIDING THE THREADS 03thks 06Heather did you see the info on Continuous Thread Msethod? yes HEATHER YOU WIND ONE END ON ONE SHUTTLE AND THE OTHER END ON THE OTHER SHUTTLE THE THREAD WAS TOO THICK FOR THE MAGIC THREAD TECHNIQUE ONE CONTINUOUS THREAD = CTM NO TAILS TO TIE 12if you leave long tails you can use the ends to sew the rainbow onto a pocket.... Could you not use magic thread to hide the ends? 06then you don't have to tie it together so only one thread? SO I SIMPLY TIED CUT AND GLUED 12or if you're gluing it onto a card, you can tuck the ends underneath and hide them with glue. ;-) 061 thread yes 2 shuttles 03which glue? ONE THREAD FROM EACH SHUTTLE YOU JUST PICK A POINT IN THE MIDDLE BETWEEN THEM AND START THE FIRST CHAIN PVA CRAFT GLUE SHUTTLE 1 = SH1 DOES THE ACTION 03merci! DRIES CLEAR AND STAYS STUCK SHUTTLE = SH2 IS THE BALL THREAD FOR THE CHAIN 05y k 03m 06c K ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? 05no 03are you worling at the same time, the rainbow? 03working I meant DID YOU TENSION THE CHAINS TO MAKE THEM CURVE MORE WERE THE INSTRUCTIONS CLEAR ENOUGH? OR DID YOU LEAVE THEM FLAT? DID YOU ALL UNDERSTAND THE ABBREVIATIONS? YOU CAN WORK ALONG MARIE OR DO IT BEFORE OR AFTER CLASS 03what is VSP? THE NEW TATTERS OFTEN WORK ALONG TO GET STARTED yes, you've explained it well. VSP = VERY SMALL PICOT NO AK THE CURVE OCCURRED NATURALLY 03merci 05t 12directions were very clear and easy to follow 03I agree, they seem very clear! 05verry clear 06I think it is very well written even if I don't read well and miss a word LINDA I THINK THIS WOULD ALSO MAKE A GOOD PLACE TO PRATICE THE LHPJ Nice pattern... Thanks Linda! I GLAD 06Heather does it make sense to you? LHPJ? 12HA! I remembered what that one stands for!!! LHPJ 06LHPJ? LARK'S HEAD PICOT JOIN = http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2003/lhpj/lhpj.html 12can't DO it yet.... 06Thanks Linda THANK YOU S O MUCH FOR SHARING THIS WITH US LINDA I got both shuttles loaded now IT IS A RIOT OF COLOR! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR KIND COMMENTS GREAT HEATHER, NOW WRAP YOUR HANDS TO MAKE THE CHAIN 05Thanks Linda 03k AND START WITH 1 DS PICOT 4 DS i'LL LET GEORGIA DO THE LHPJ EARLIER WE MENTIONED 06Thanks...That makes sense Thanks Linda. THAT THIS RAINBOW OF LINDA'S COULD WELL INSPIRE OTHERS PATTERNS THE BALLOON WAS ONE IF YOU ROTATE THE PAGE AROUND *** Tatter has joined #tatchat I SEE A SKIRT FOR A SOUTHERN BELLE *** Tatter is now known as marco WELCOME MARCO 12hi Marco! 05Hi Marco Hi Marco 03Hi Marco hello WHAT ELSE COULD WE DO TO ADAPT THIS PATTERN? Hi Marco just in time to say hi 05yes 06Hi Marco GLAD YOU MADE IT MARCO a hot air balloon was mentioned me too but always to late 3D ice Cream cone for the class 12go around a small tatted (round) center 03when complete circle, can it become an umbrella? Great ideas! OHH ICE CREAM CONE HMM NOW THAT MAKES ME THINK OF THOSE VICTORIAN CONE SHAPED HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS But I wouldn't suggest using real ice cream, the thread would get sticky 05yes Marie 12Neat! UMBRELLA WOULD BE TERRIFIC 3-D ITEM 05a parachute OK THEN TAT A SNOOD AND STUFF WITH BATTING! 03Just stick in on the ice cream! what is a snood?? 03idem IT IS A LITTLE NET FOR THE HAIR This would be a good way to use up thread you have on the shuttle oke i get it TO KEEP THE HAIR FROM WIGGLING ABOUT FREELY hihi 03ok my hair is to short to wiggle haha IF DONE IN SAND TONES, IT COULD BE A SEASHELL 12or stuff with hair....instead of all those hairpins that give you a heaavhe 12headache HEATHER HAVE YOU TATTED THE FIRST ROW OF CHAINS? good idea AK 06all those neat ideas 05Hairpins cannot in the hair of Marco Cornucopia why not tine? hihi 12hehehee...Matco, I have to keep mine pinned up because it's too long NOT to wiggle. It gets tangled BUT STILL I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT FAN 03I'm sorry I did not even start it... Sorry for me! oke 12oh, fan, yes, that would be good,too! CORNUCOPIA!! EXCELLENT AND THEN FILLE WITH TATTED FRUITS?? i like long hair, but mine is very short 06awesome idea AK and very silver 05mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Time to start tatting one for Thanksgiving! mine too marco 12I keep thinkign I'm going to cut it so it is not so much work....but I like it long.... 12;-) mine is the colour on the box 12oh, if you made the rainbow in a circle it could be the lace around a tatted nosegay My hair is hip-length, it'll take a while to make a snood for it all, I think. 06or with a pick for a pomny tail cover... 12yeah, that's why i never made a snood for mine.... Still, if it keeps it under control, it'd be worth it :) bob hip lenght????? woh DEBBIE ARNOLD HAS A BANANA PATTERN 05OOOO is that the next lesson? www.ds9designs.com/whatsnew.html I've been growing it for 18 years now, only getting it trimmed every few months. oke OK rUTH IS THE CORNUCOPIA THE NEXT LESSON?? 12for the cornucopia? or just a new pattern?

I hated getting it brushed and haven't had it that long since 12My sister was willing to stand still and let Mom comb it, so she had long hair. 12I couldn't be still, so mine stayed very short...."pixie" haircut ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE LESSON??
