AKTATTER: MANY THANKS TO JANE FOR STEPPING IN AT THELAST MINUTE WITH THIS
RIDGETATTER: yes
Tine Vedder: Ridgetatter are you Beverly J from NM ?
AKTATTER: DELIGHTFUL TREE BROOCH AND EARRINGS
AnneB: Thanks Jane :-)
RIDGETATTER: yes  and time is my friend in the north!!
Tine Vedder: ok
soultatter: bravo jane!!
RIDGETATTER: :>)
JaneEb: It's really quite easy too!!  Not a hard pattern
Cynthia: Definately thank you Jane
AKTATTER: THE FIRST THING TO DO IS TO STUDY THE FIRST THREE DIAGRAMS
RIDGETATTER: y. jane
AKTATTER: IT MAY NOT BE A HARD LESSON
AKTATTER: BUT THERE IS A NEAT TRICK INVOLVED IN THE BEADING
Tine Vedder: verry good
JaneEb: There are a few tricks to it which make it easier.
RIDGETATTER: is it like the second Tia?
RIDGETATTER: TIAS?
AKTATTER: THOSE GREEN BEADS ARE NOT ON THE SHUTTLE THREAD!
soultatter: k
AKTATTER: TRY IT AND SEE
AKTATTER: TIAS
RIDGETATTER: hehehe
JaneEb: Thinking, thinking, thinking!!!  The lady one?
Tine Vedder: y
AKTATTER: THEY ARE ADDED JUST BEFORE THE JOIN IS MADE TO THE
RIDGETATTER: yes
AKTATTER: PETITE PICOT ON THE SPLIT RINGS USED AS THE CENTER TRUNK
AKTATTER: VERY CLEVER JANE
AKTATTER: NOW THE DIRECTIONS SAY TO WORK UP TO THE FIRST BRANCH DOING THOSE SPLIT RINGS
JaneEb: Sort of like the TIAS
AKTATTER: FIRST RING IS NORMAL
AKTATTER: BUT IS IT THE TOP OR THE BOTTOM OF THE TREE?
Tine Vedder: m
AKTATTER: LOOK AT FIG 2
Dantatter: k
AKTATTER: AH HA
AKTATTER: RING 1 IS THE TOP
Tine Vedder: the top
RIDGETATTER: .
Aanjel51: .
AKTATTER: SO TAT THE FIRST RING
Paule: .
soultatter: first we begin whit hte split rings?
Tine Vedder: y
JaneEb: The first ring is the top of the tree.  You work down to the bottom, out to the longest branch with a chain
AKTATTER: PLACING A LARGER BEAD IN THE CENTER OF IT BEFORE CLOSING
AKTATTER: YES CLAUDIA, EXCEPT #1RING IS NORMAL RING
Tine Vedder: m
RIDGETATTER: what size beads?
AKTATTER: RINGS 2 - 6 ARE SPLIT RINGS
soultatter: ok
Paule: Using whose method?
AKTATTER: THE SIXE OF THE BEADS IS OFTEN DETERMINED BY THE SIZE OF THE THREAD
RIDGETATTER: ok
AKTATTER: THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO ADD BEADS TO THE CENTER OF A BEAD
Paule: yes
JaneEb: Add the beads to the centre of the SR's - use a slightly larger than a seed bead which will fit perfectly into the SR's.  I usually take the core thread down from the centre of
JaneEb: the second very small picot, add the bead and then put the shuttle (working one)
Tine Vedder: y
JaneEb: through the loop.  Bob's your uncle!!
Paule: Jenifer Williams method
AKTATTER: IF YOU NEED ALTERNATE METHODS TO ADD THE CENTER BEAD PLEASE EMAIL FOR DIAGRAMS LATER
Aanjel51: sorry I have too much happening here, have to go.
JaneEb: That's the one!!!
AKTATTER: oh? i THOUGHT i INVENTED THAT!
soultatter: ill do georgia,
Aanjel51 from x.x.x.156 left the chat 34 minutes ago
AKTATTER: LOL
AKTATTER: BYE ANGELA
RIDGETATTER: bye
Tine Vedder: bye
Paule: I'll try this one; if it doesn't work I'll e-mail
AKTATTER: OK NOW WE TAT THE SPLIT RIGNS TO THE BOTTOM
AKTATTER: OK
AnneB: bye
Tine Vedder: k
soultatter: k
RIDGETATTER: k
Cynthia: k
Paule: a diiferent method of adding beads to the center?
AKTATTER: NOW HERE IS WHERE i HVAE A QUESTION FOR JANE
JaneEb: OK
soultatter: we listen
AKTATTER: IF THE 6TH SPLIT RING IS THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUNK
AKTATTER: THEN DOES FIG 1 REALLY REPRESENT THE FIRST CHAIN?
AKTATTER: OR DO i HAVE IT BACK WARD?
AKTATTER: IF YOU NEED MOREMETHODS PAULE EMAIL ME AFTER CLASS
Tine Vedder: it do
Paule: ok
JaneEb: Yes.  You work a chain outwards from SR6 so taht you're in position to start making the bead branches.  Does that make sense?
AKTATTER: OK THEN WE WORK FROM THE BOTTOM UP TO THE TOP WHERE THE STAR IS
RIDGETATTER: ,
Cynthia: does that mean 6 is the bottom and the first branch is the longest?
Paule: I would wrap the chain...or amI out?
JaneEb: Yes, Cynthia
Cynthia: got it...thanks
AKTATTER: WHY NOT PAULE WRAPPING IS OK
AKTATTER: OK IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY
soultatter: good idea
Tine Vedder: Jane  The 6 red beads are thei on the thread?
AKTATTER: WE TAT THE LONG CHAIN AND PUT THE 5 RED BEADS ON THE END OF IT
JaneEb: It doesn't matter how you work the chain - standing on your head if you like!!!  As long as the 'heads' of the ds are downwards towards the bottom of the tree
AKTATTER: LOL OK THEN
Tine Vedder: haha
JaneEb: On the CORE thread, not the chain thread
Cynthia: and the belt is up?
Tine Vedder: before tatting starts
Tine Vedder: ?
AKTATTER: OK THEN ALL THE RED BEADS MUST BE LOADED O NTHE SHUTTLE THREAD FIRST
soultatter: im confuse now
Tine Vedder: ok
AKTATTER: BUT THE GREEN BEADS AND CENTER BEAD ARE ADDED AS YOU TAT
AKTATTER: RIGHT JANE?
JaneEb: NO WAY.  Don't add the beads to the shuttle threads - tooooo confusing.
AKTATTER: OK THEN THOSE 5 RED BEADS HAVE TO BE ADDED AS WE TAT THEN
RIDGETATTER: y
RIDGETATTER: easy peasy
JaneEb: The beads are added to the core thread much as you would add to the normal thread as in this method http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~nickeb/AddBeadsonPicots.htm the first picture
AKTATTER: JUST PUT ONTO CROCHET HOOK AND PULL THE SHUTTLE THREAD UP
RIDGETATTER: and I'm not all that good with beads...so if I can do it   you all can
AKTATTER: OH LET'S SEE
JaneEb: Yes the therad on the core shuttle.
Tine Vedder: aha I understand
Cynthia: bev you will get it once you triy it...once you get it once it will make sense...been there
Paule: p
AKTATTER: AH YES
RIDGETATTER: oh I do beads all the time...I'm just not 'expert'
AKTATTER: THEN TAT 2
Paule: Wait wait wait
AKTATTER: THEN USE SAME METHOD OF PULLING THE THREAD UP THRU THE BEADS
Cynthia: this is just a different technique and good when it clicks for you
JaneEb: If you look at the pictures at the top of the page they may help to see how the branches are made!
Paule: Jane you say at beginning of instructions
AKTATTER: LOAD ON THE NEXT7 GREEN BEADS
Paule: 2 shuttles 18 beads on S1
Tine Vedder: y
AKTATTER: PULL OUT EXTRA LOOP FROM LAST BEAD
Cynthia: those are the lights...right>\?
Tine Vedder: y
AKTATTER: AND THEN HOLD IT LONG ENOUGH
JaneEb: Yes, at the top of the pattern. I did that to help (probably confused you, though!!)
AKTATTER: REACH THE CROCHET HOOK THRU THE JOINING PICOT
AKTATTER: ON THE SPLIT RING
AKTATTER: PULL THROUGH MORE THREAD
AKTATTER: ADD ON 6 MORE GREN BEADS
Tine Vedder: k
AKTATTER: THE SECOND COLOR OF GREEN BEADS
RIDGETATTER: .
Tine Vedder: I see
AKTATTER: ADD ON 1 RED BEAD
JaneEb: That's right, Georgia.  It does help perhaps when you do the first tree to put a paperclip to hold the two sets of beads while you work the next ds, B, ds
AKTATTER: TAT 1
Cynthia: ahha that's the trick
JaneEb: The red beads are already on the shuttle thread and just have to be moved along
AKTATTER: JOIN TO THE LOOP HELD OUT
AKTATTER: TAT 1 ADD RD BEAD TAT ONE
AKTATTER: REPEAT
Tine Vedder: ok
Kate: bye all, gotta run, hope to see you next week
AKTATTER: NEXT BRANCH HAS ONE LESS GREEN BEAD IN EACH ROUND
AKTATTER: BYE KATE
AKTATTER: WHEN YOU REACH THE FIRST RING AT THE TO POF THE TREE
AKTATTER: REFER BACK TO FIG 1
AKTATTER: CHAIN OVER AND JOIN TO THE PICOT ON RING ONE
AKTATTER: CHAIN UP TO WHERE THE STAR IS
Tine Vedder: y
AKTATTER: IS IT A LOCK JOIN TO THE BACK OF THE STAR?
RIDGETATTER: .
AKTATTER: OR DO YOU PULL THE LOOP OF THREAD UP THRU THE BUTTON'S EYE AND THEN DOWN THE OTHER SIDE?
AKTATTER: CATCH THE JUMP RIGN IN THERE TOO
soultatter: let me see.. is like im tatting a longgg chain, where the long picots with beads are the branches??
AKTATTER: CHAIN DOWN TO THE SMALL PICOT ON THE OPPOSITE OF THE FIRST RING
Paule: Jump ring?
AKTATTER: THAT IS RIGHT CLAUDIA
Dantatter: What is that
JaneEb: That's the way I do it - pull the loop up through the button hole on one side, down through the other hole and put the shuttle through the loop.  Needs careful wriggling to tighten!!
soultatter: im understand know!!
AKTATTER: A SMALL ROUND METAL RING USED I NJEWELRY TO HAND SOMETHING FROM THE METAL FINDINGS
soultatter: ow
AKTATTER: OK
JaneEb: Like a key ring only smallllll
AKTATTER: THEN OU REPEAT THE BRANCHES ADDING A BEAD MORE IN EACH ROW
AKTATTER: AND WORK YOUR WAY DOWN TO THE BOTTOM
Dantatter: ok
Tine Vedder: or a button with aa legg
AKTATTER: ADD THE 5 RED BEADS
AKTATTER: THEN CHAIN ACROSS THE TO THE TRUNK
AKTATTER: IS THAT A LARGE BEAD JANE? OR A LARGE RING?
JaneEb: At the bottom?  I use a large teardrop type of bead.  You could use anything you like really.  As long as there's a hole in it!!
Paule: p
Tine Vedder: ok
AKTATTER: OK THEN THAT'S IT FOR THE TREE
AKTATTER: THE EARRINGS HAVE ONLY 4 RINGS IN THE TRUCK
soultatter: ok
RIDGETATTER: .
AKTATTER: AND THE METHOD IS THE SAME
AnneB: ok
Cynthia: This is an incredible design...Thanks Jane and Georgia
JaneEb: The only difference is that I use a split ring (as in a key ring ring) behind the star bead for the ear finding to fix to
AKTATTER: OH GOOD POINT
JaneEb: I wonder if anybody in tat land has tried this pattern yet?
Tine Vedder: yes
soultatter: ill try it , sure!!
Tine Vedder: I ll try
Cynthia: not yet but I will
JaneEb: If you get stuck just shout!!!
RIDGETATTER: Oh Jane, the gal here in SCity contacted me and I put her in touch with Georgia, and Cynthia for Beginning classes.  And we're getting together   I have shuttles she can try out to decicde what she'd like'
soultatter: ok jane
AKTATTER: I'LL BET THEY WILL BE TRYING IT OUT NOW!

AKTATTER: YES IT HE VERY PLEASED FIRST STEPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND VERYPAINFUL USUALLY
Paule: G. you probably heard about the fund raiser for Gary?
AKTATTER: YES HE HAS STILL A LONG WAY TO GO BUT HAS A GREAT ATTITUDE
AKTATTER: YES I RECALL IS IT SSTILL GOING ON?
JeanneZ: Is he tatting or able to tat

Paule: Teresea! I didn't know you were there!
AKTATTER: LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT JANE'S CHRISTMAS TREE
AKTATTER: BEADS, BEADS, BEADS
AKTATTER: 2 SHUTTLES
TeresaW: Fund raiser is a 3-page description with photos and diagrams. Suggested $3.00 ea includes 2 types of filaments loops. e-mail me at tattingteresa@gmail.coom
JeanneZ: I love this pattern is Jane here to thank
AKTATTER: DIRECTIONS SAY ADD 18  BEADS TO SH1
AKTATTER: BUT
AKTATTER: THANKS TW
AKTATTER: IF YOU LOOK AT THE RED BEADS ON THE TREE DIAGRAM
JB: Can you refresh my memory on inserting a bead in the center of a ring?
AKTATTER: I COUNT 14 ON EACH SIDE
AKTATTER: SO I THINK WE SHOULD CHANGE THAT TO 28
AKTATTER: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2002/beads/beadbasics.html
AKTATTER: SURE JB
JeanneZ: right that little circle of beads
AKTATTER: THERE ARE A COUPLE OF WAYS
AKTATTER: BUT PERHAPS I AM WRONG JEANNE??
AKTATTER: IF THOSE TWO GROUPS OF 5 RED BEADS WERE DONE AS A LONG BEADED PICOT lbp
AKTATTER: THEN 18 WOULD BE CORRECT
Sherong: Bad link Georgia
mab2012: but I think that the beads at the bottom are addedstraight onto the picot, aren't they? - so should still be 18 on shuttle
AKTATTER: OK NOW DON'T ANYONE TELL JANE i MESSED UP HER PATTERN LOL
AKTATTER: I THINK THAT TOO MAUREEN I WAS TOO HASTY IN MY COUNT
JB: The Bead Basics link did not work
AKTATTER: JB THE EASIEST WAY TO ADD THE BEAD IN THE CENTER IS TO TAT THE RING
AKTATTER: OK DRAT OF COURSE SORRY
RIDGETATTER from x.x.x.5 joined the chat 33 minutes ago
Cynthia: old habits are hard to break...lol
AKTATTER: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~nickeb/tonyabeadsr.htm
Marie Smith: Hi Bev
AKTATTER: BOY WILL I BE GLAD WHEN MY WEBSITE IS BACK UP
RIDGETATTER: bev davis Silver City NM  beeloyal1@aol.com    HI
AKTATTER: HI BJ
AKTATTER: OK JB TAT RING
Sherong: Any idea when that will be?
NancyCarol: Any guess about a date for the site's return?
AKTATTER: THEN BEFORE CLOSING GO BAK TO MID POINT
mab2012: Hello BJ!
JeanneZ: So it is 18 we add to shuttle 1
Sherong: And Tonya's way didn't work for me, any other ideas?
AKTATTER: SHOULD HAVE BEEN LAST WEEK SHERON SIGH
AKTATTER: RIGHT JEANNE
AKTATTER: GO BACK TO MID POINT AND PULL DOWN THE CORE THREAD ENOUGH TO SLIDE THE BEAD ON
Sherong: Worse than getting a new computer
AKTATTER: SLIP THE SHUTTLE THRU THAT LOOP
AKTATTER: HEN CLOSE UP RING
mab2012: this is the bit I will have to study - adding onto the split ring
RIDGETATTER: ,
AKTATTER: WELL YOU CAN TAT THE RING HALF WAY
Paule: p
OwenJulesMommy: ,

JB from x.x.x.22 joined the chat 30 minutes ago
AKTATTER: AND HAVE THE BEAD ON A THRID THREAD
RIDGETATTER: .
AKTATTER: THIRD THREAD
AKTATTER: YOU SLIP THE BEAD INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING
AKTATTER: THEN ENCAPSULATE THE THREAD AS YOU EXIT THE SPLIT RING
AKTATTER: IF YOU WOULD LIKE DIAGRAMS PLEASE EMAIL ME AFTER CLASS
NancyCarol: Do you all see the little OK at the very rightmost end of the box you type in?  If you click on it periodically, then you don't have to type in random characters/letters to stay in the chat.
AKTATTER: OK THE FIRST RING OF THE TREE TRUNK
RIDGETATTER: THANKYOU
AKTATTER: IS A REAGULAR RING
AKTATTER: THEN YOU BEGIN THE NEXT 5 SPLIT RINGS
AKTATTER: WHICH EACH HAVE VERY TINY JOINING PICOTS ON EACH SIDE
Paule: Ty carol
AKTATTER: AFTER RING 6 CLOSES THEN YOU ARE TATTING OR WRAPPING A CHAIN
AKTATTER: THAT IS THE BOTTOM BRANCH IT HAS NO BEADS
mab2012: not wanting to hold up tha class, but the first ring would have to have the bead on the thread, wouldn't it?
AKTATTER: GREAT TIP NANCY
mab2012: how do you addd a bead to the middle of a normal ring?
AKTATTER: NO THE BEADS IN THE CENTER DO NOT
AKTATTER: HAVE TO BE ON THE SHUTTLES
mab2012: ok
AKTATTER: YOU PULL UP A LOOP OF THREAD AND SLIDE THEM OVER IT
AKTATTER: THEN POST THE SHUTTLE THRU AND CLOSE THE RING
mab2012: even with a normal ring, you can do that?
AKTATTER: RIGHT
mab2012: thank you
Paule: TIAS try it and see
AKTATTER: OK AT THE TIP OF THE BRANC
mab2012: will do
Cynthia: yes but be careful closing the ring it can be fiddly to get it
AKTATTER: WE ADD ON THE BEADS IN RED
Paule: Just be calm
AKTATTER: THESE ARE THE 5 BEADS NOT ON THE SHUTTLE
AKTATTER: TO SEE A GREAT DIAGRM OF HOW TO LOAD THESE BEADS
AKTATTER: AND HOW TO MAKE THE JOIN THAT TURNS IT INTO A PICOT
AKTATTER: PLEASE SEE
AKTATTER: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~nickeb/AddBeadsonPicots.htm
AKTATTER: THAT SHOULD CLEAR UP SOME OF THE CONFUSION
AKTATTER: IN THE NEW DIAGRAM YOU SEE THE PURPLE BEADS
AKTATTER: THERE IS A LOOP OF CORE THREAD
AKTATTER: PULLED THROUGH THOSE BEADS
AKTATTER: AND JUST ENOUGH EXTRA
AKTATTER: SO THAT THE SH1 CAN GO THRU IT
AKTATTER: THIS JOIN CAN BE MADE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BEADS ARE ADDED
mab2012: that bit I remember from the TIAS
AKTATTER: OR 1 OR MORE DS CAN BE TATTED
AKTATTER: AND THEN THE JOIN IS MADE
Paule: So be sure to choose beads that can accomadate double your thread!
Paule: Or you will cry!
AKTATTER: TRUE! AND A CROCHET SMALL ENOUGH TO GO THROUGH THEM TOO
AKTATTER: ALSO LOOK AT THE LOWERS DRAWINGS
Paule: yes
OwenJulesMommy from x.x.x.203 left the chat 21 minutes ago
AKTATTER: IF THE BEADS WERE HANGING DOWN THE OTHER WAY
AKTATTER: THAT IS WHAT THE LOOP WOULD LOOK LIKE FOR PUTTING THE BEAD IN THE CENTER OF THE RING
AKTATTER: SO WE ARE READY NOW
AKTATTER: PULL THE THREAD THRU THE 5 BEADS
AKTATTER: JOIN
AKTATTER: THEN BEGIN THE GIANT PICOT LOOP
AKTATTER: PULL ENOUGH CORE THREAD THRU 7 GREEN BEADS
AKTATTER: AND THEN MORE
AKTATTER: JUST ENOUGH WO THAT YOU CAN HOLD ON TO IT
AKTATTER: WHILE YOU REMOVE THE CROCHET HOOK
AKTATTER: SLIP IT THROUGH THE TINY PICOT
AKTATTER: ON THE SIDE OF THE SPLIT RING
AKTATTER: AND THEN PICK UP THE LOOP AGAIN
AKTATTER: ADD ON 6 OF THE DARKER GREEN BEADS
AKTATTER: THEN JOIN  TAT 1 THEN SINGLE BEAD FROM THE SH1 AND TAT 1
AKTATTER: EACH ROW OF GREEMS BEADS IS REDUCED BY ONE BEAD
AKTATTER: AS YOU GO UP THE SIDE OF THE TREE
AKTATTER: QUESTIONS ON THIS PART?
JeanneZ: there are 7 lighter beadas and only 6 darker green beads right
AKTATTER: EXACTLY RIGHT
JeanneZ: then 1 less of each on each branch
AKTATTER: RIGHT AGAIN
JeanneZ: ok
Cynthia: so the bottom is a bit longer than the top of the branch
AKTATTER: RIGHT IS TAPERS
AKTATTER: WHEN YOU GET TO THE LAST ROW
AKTATTER: YOU SHOULD LOOK AT FIG 1
JeanneZ: almost looks like it is the lower side that is shorter than the upper part of each branck
AKTATTER: IT HAS THE START AND RINGS ONE AND TWO
AKTATTER: YES IT DOES IN THE PHOTO BUT NOT IN THE DIAGRAMS
JeanneZ: dark on bottom and light on top but then the directions of pictures are the opposite
Cynthia: it is upside down as you are woking from the bottom up...try it
AKTATTER: YES THAT IS IT
Paule: you are Jeanne
Paule: right
AKTATTER: AFTER THE LAST ROW CHAIN OVER AND JOIN TO THE SMALL PICOT ON RING 1
AKTATTER: CHAIN UP AND BRING THE CORE UP THRU THE BUTTON'S EYE AND THE JUMPRING
AKTATTER: THEN DOWN THRU THE OTHER EYE
AKTATTER: SLIP THE SHUTTLE THRU THAT LOOP ALSO AND TIGHTEN UP
JeanneZ: has anyone seen where you can get the star
AKTATTER: ONTINUE TO CHAIN DOWN THE OTHER SIDE TO
AKTATTER: THE TINY PICOT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF RING 1
AKTATTER: I HAVE SEEN SOME BUTTONS BUT NONE SMALL ENOUGH SO FAR
AKTATTER: EXCEPT FOR SEQUIN STARTS
AKTATTER: STARS
AKTATTER: THEN REPEAT THE CHAINS FOR THE BRANCHES
Cynthia: they can be a challenge to find
Marie Smith: Have seen them at Hancocks and maybe Michaels
JeanneZ: the sequine might be about the right size
AKTATTER: THIS TIME ADDING A BEAD ON EACH ROW
mab2012: I have seen packets of them in our Spotlight store
AJ: Gotta go.  Will catch you next week.  Bye
AKTATTER: AFTER THE LAST LBP JOIN CHAIN 2 THEN
JeanneZ: will have to look around for them
JB: What is Spotlight store?
AKTATTER: ADD ON THOSE LAST 5 RED BEADS
AKTATTER: BY DOING THE LBP JOIN AGAIN
AKTATTER: THE REST OF THE CHAIN IS TATTED NORMALLY
AKTATTER: OVER TO JOIN TO THE BOTTOM OF SPLIT RING 6
AKTATTER: AND jANE ADDED A LONG DANGLE BEAD TO SERVE AS THE TURNK
mab2012: large chain of craft/hobby stores all over Australia
AKTATTER: i DON'T KNOW THAT STORE
JB: oh.
AKTATTER: THE EARRINGS USE THE SAME METHOD BUT HAVE ONLY 4 RINGS ON THE TRUNK
AKTATTER: BY AJ
Paule: None in Canada I bet
Cynthia: check stores that carry scrapbooking things  I saw some there
mab2012: sells everything, except the colour you happen to want at the time
AKTATTER: THIS IS A LITTLE FIDDLY READING IT
Paule: Good idea C.
AKTATTER: BUT I THINK THAT DOING IT WOULD BE EASY
NancyCarol: I want to wear these earrings to some Christmas parties in the next few weeks, so I'd better start searching
AKTATTER: ISN'T THAT ALWAYS TRUE?
JB: Georgia, you make the pattern sound so simple.
AKTATTER: JANE ALSO SUGGESTED A BLACK AND SILVER OR BLACK AND GOLD COLOR COMBO
AKTATTER: FOR HOLIDAY PARTIES OR nEW'S YEARS PERHAPS
Paule: I agree with G. fiddly indeed!  Easy to loose your place!
AKTATTER: QUESTIONS?
mab2012: I don't wear earrings, so it's the brooch I want to make
Sunela from x.x.x.137 joined the chat 8 minutes ago
mab2012: wil have to practise that bead in the ring thing
JB: I want to make the brooch as well.
JeanneZ: I have some clip ons that look like pierced so I am going to try to make the earrings
