AKTATTER: TO START, ARE THERE ANY NEEDLE TATTING QUESTIONS?
picotsnkeys: I agree....just don't let yourself get too wound up.
AKTATTER: <<< MOST PLACES ACTUALLY
picotsnkeys: I enjoyed your page on locking stitch with needle
Barb: be here in a couple minutes
AKTATTER: IF NOT THEN LET'S LOOK AT THAT PAGE MEL
AKTATTER: OK BARB
BahmaTerri: just a quick question - are all patterns worked clockwise?
AKTATTER: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/nt/ntlockstitch.html
picotsnkeys: FYI, if I open more than one explorer window, it'll lock. I'll still try to "listen"
AKTATTER: IOF YOU PRINTED THE PAGE EARLY, I ADDED FOUR PHOTOS BY MARK MYERS
AKTATTER: OK
AKTATTER: AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY FUZZY FOTOS
AKTATTER: IT TAKES SOME EFFORT TO ACHIEVE THIS LOCK STITCH CHAIN EFFECT

AKTATTER: SEE THE NEXT PHOTO FOR THE METHOD
Barb: k
AKTATTER: YOU LITERALLY HOLD THE NEEDLE AS IF SEWING A BLANKET STITCH AND WRAP THE THREAD
AKTATTER: IT MEANS THAT YOU MUST MOVE THE FIRST HALF STITCH OFF THE NEEDLE EACH TIME
AKTATTER: BEFORE YOU CAN WRAP THE SECOND HALF STITCH
picotsnkeys: k
maria alcant: k
AKTATTER: FOR THIS REASON I CONSIDER IT TIME CONSUMING HOWEVER,

MJB: Mary Jane Brittingham Santa Claus., Indiana usa
Jane Eb: Oh, yes, it does look similar but that butterfly is just rings, chains, isn't it? Also a long cut picot for the feelers. Mine's quite a lot different as it's got SR's, long beaded picots etc and no ends to sew in!!!

meowy: stacey staceywrites at gmail.com usa
AKTATTER: LAST WEEK WE HAD A BIT OF CONFUSION ABOUT THE TERM LOCK STITCH AND HOW TO MAKE IT INTO A DECORATIVE CHAIN
AKTATTER: THE CLASSIC "LOCK STITCH" IS A TERM USED WHEN A COMPLETE STOP IS CALLED FOR
Jane Eb: What was the confusion?
Liz_: Elizabeth Hendrix Shreveport, LA
AKTATTER: OR WHEN A CHANGE OF DIRECTION IS NEEDED
Beadweaver: Debbie Witenski debbie.witenski@gmai.com Pennsylvania, USA needle
maria alcant: sorry Jane..i will wait for yours...
nstitcher: I was browsing the sites, and came across the section on workintg with beads, now I can't find it.. any ideas?
AKTATTER: ALSO WHEN AN INWARD FACING PICOT (BUT NOT AN SCMR) MIGHT BE NEEDED TO AS AN ANCHOR FOR A FOLLOWING TATTED ELEMENT
Cynthia: Georgia, Margaret's computer is down...she got a trojan in it and has to wait for help...she called me as she missed class...
AKTATTER: THE CONCEPT IS SIMPLE
AKTATTER: THE FIRST HALF STITCH IS FLIPPED
AKTATTER: THE SECOND HALF STITCH IS NOT FLIPPED BUT WRAPPED
AKTATTER: THIS PREVENTS THE TATTING FROM BEING DRAWN UP INTO A RING OR A CHAIN BEING COMPRESSED
AKTATTER: OH I AM SOPRRY TO HERE THAT WE ALL NEED TO KEEP OUR VIRUS PROTECTION UPDATED
AKTATTER: THE CONFUSION WAS MORE IN HOW TO DO IN THAN WHAT IT WAS JANE
AKTATTER: SO FOR THE SHUTTLE TATTER
Jane Eb: Thanks Georgia. It's easy when you get into a rythm and the second part (unflipped) needs to be snug to the first half to make it neat.
Jane Eb: It's SO pretty when using two contrasting colours too.
AKTATTER from x.x.x.242 joined the chat 6 hours ago
meowy: .
Liz_: k
Raelara: never thought of using a lock stitch to accommodate a reverse picot

Barb: k
AKTATTER: LOOK AT MARK MYERS PAGE ON HOW TO
BahmaTerri: ..
AKTATTER: http://tatmantats.wordpress.com/lock-stitch-chain/
picotsnkeys: k
AKTATTER: TO DO HAVE A HOW TO PAGE FOR THIS CHAIN JANE?
AKTATTER: FOR THE NEEDLE TATTER, MORE EFFORT IS NEEDED AND IT MEANS REMOVING EACH FIRST HALF STITCH
Raelara: that looks cool ... kinda like a spiral!
AKTATTER: FROM THE NEEDLE BEFORE MAKING THE SECOND HALF STITCH UNFLIPPED
AKTATTER: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/nt/ntlockstitch.html
meowy: oh that is neat how it's alternate colors on tatman's blog
Jane Eb: Sorry, no I don't but I will when I've got further along with preparing the TIAS!!

AKTATTER: IF YOU SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE NEEDLE TATTING PAGE THERE ARE FOUR FANTASTIC SAMPLES BY ARK MYERS USING THELOCK STITCH CHAIN
BahmaTerri: ..
nstitcher: what is a scmr?
krystledawne: self closing mock ring
AKTATTER: JENNI, I LEARNED TO USE THAT LOCK STITCH FOR INWARD FACING PICOT FROM AN OLD GERMAN PATTERN, A FLOWER WITH LEAVES THAT LEANS TO THE RIGHT
nstitcher: ahh thank you
AKTATTER: AND THAT BRINGS US BACK TO THE LOCK STITCH SAMPLE BY OUR OWN JANE TOO
maria alcant: k

BahmaTerri: not sure I follow with the needle inst
picotsnkeys: k
krystledawne: Jane's instructions are the best nstitcher
AKTATTER: DO YOU SHUTTLE OR NEEDLE TAT TERRI?
Barb: K
AKTATTER: .
BahmaTerri: take 1st half stitch off needle then do 2nd half stitch then just keep working? I do both but prefer needle.
meowy: aww that butterfly is so cute
AKTATTER: OK IT MEANS TO WRAP THE IST HALF STITCH
AKTATTER: SLIDE IT OFF THE NEEDLE
nstitcher: what is tias?
AKTATTER: USE THE NEEDLE AS IN PHOTO 5 ON THE PAGE
AKTATTER: HOLDING IT AS IF IT WERE A SHUTTLE OR AS IF YOU WERE SEWING BLANKET STITHC

maria alcant: great!...i wont say nothing else ...
Barb: Stacey, I'm good at cut and toss in the trash can.. ROFL
AKTATTER: OK THE PATTERN IS ONE WE ARE USED TO AND EASY TO DO
krystledawne: Lol Barb!
AKTATTER: AT THE POINT OF THE ARM WE RETURN
Barb: :)
BahmaTerri: ..
picotsnkeys: oh oh.....a ring lose....to join my screw lose????
Beadweaver: k
AKTATTER: AND EACH RING OF THE SET JOINS TO THE RINGS OPPOSITE SIDE
AKTATTER: NOW AT THE POINT
AKTATTER: PATTY STOPPED TO DOA LITTLE BUGALOO
AKTATTER: AND USED THREE FLOATING RINGS FOR DECORATION
AKTATTER: FOR THE NEEDLE TATTERS YOU WILL NEED TWO NEEDLES TO GET THAT FLOATING RINGS
Cynthia: it actuall makes sense to me...lol I get lost easy but I got this one....figured out...
AKTATTER: SHUTTLES TATTERS WILL HAVE STARTED THE PATTERN WITH TWO SHUTTLES WOUND CTM AND WILL SIMPLY SWITCH SHUTTLES
krystledawne: Oh, I've got to go now. It's our anniversary so I bettr go love on my hubby before he goes to work
AKTATTER: TO THROW OFF THE DECORATIE FLAOTING RINGS
Rosemarie: k
AKTATTER: BY KRYSTLE
krystledawne: Later!
AKTATTER: WE CLIMB INTO THE NEXT ARM WITH A SHORT CHAIN
meowy: .
Cynthia: Happy annicersary!
AKTATTER: NOW WHAT ABOUT THAT NASTY "CUT AND TIE " MARIA NOTICES
Cynthia: anniversary that is...Krystle
MJB: How many years
picotsnkeys: enjoy your family Krystle!
AnneB at work: Happy anniversary, Krystle!
AKTATTER: ON THE FIRST ARM WE COULD DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT
BahmaTerri: ..
Raelara: jump out with a split chain
AKTATTER: BEGIN THE PATTERN NOT A RINGS 1a
AKTATTER: BUT ADD IN THE CHAIN 5 THAT IS NEEDED
maria alcant: nothing to say GGGGG
AKTATTER: IF WE HAVE THAT SHORT CHAIN IN PLACE THEN WHEN WE COME AROUND TOT HE LAST SECTION
nstitcher: it says blue lines are tatted frontside, red lines are tatted backside.... ??
AKTATTER: WE WILL NEED TO DO ONLY A SHORT SPLIT CHAIN OF 8
meowy: .
AKTATTER: THE RED LINES BACK SIDE MEANS TO REVERSE THE ORDER OF THE DOUBLE STITCHES
AKTATTER: SECOND AHLF STITCH FIRST FIRST HALF STITCH SECOND
picotsnkeys: is that refered to as RODS?
AKTATTER: THAT MAKES THE WORK HAVE A DEFINITE FRONT/BACK SIDE LOOK
Cynthia: yes
AKTATTER: OK WE WILL MEASURE OUT THE LENGTHO OF BARE THREAD FOR THE SPLIT CHAIN
AKTATTER: AND THEN REDUCE IT A LITTLE (BECUASE SPLIT CHAINS ALWAYS STRETCH)
AKTATTER: TAT THE TWO RINGS AND MAKE THOSE JOINS
Claudia from x.x.x.102 joined the chat 5 hours ago
AnneB at work: If you start with the chain next to the ring at the tip of the arm, you can climb out using a SR and avoid the split chain...
AKTATTER: COME BAKC AND WRAP THE SPLIT CHAIN 8 DS
nstitcher: thank you
AKTATTER: CLIMBING OUT INTO THE SECOND ROUND
picotsnkeys: I don't know....having a chain flop around along with the rings flopping makes me nervous!
Claudia: hi!!..sorry im late
AKTATTER: YES THAT WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT ALTERNATIVE STARTING POINT ANNE
AKTATTER: WELCOME CLAUDIA ALWAYS GLAD TO SEE YOU
maria alcant: what about staring in ring 2A the first round so i could finish with a split chain...? G
BahmaTerri: ..
AKTATTER: THE CHAINS OF THE SECOND ROUND JOIN TOTHE PICOTS O NTHE CHAINS
picotsnkeys: Hi Claudia
MJB: k
maria alcant: Clau: seguro estabas platicando no???? jajja
AKTATTER: ALSO POSSIVBLE MARIA
AKTATTER: THE LAST ROUND ALSO HS THE FLOATING RINGS
picotsnkeys: brb
Claudia: no maria! jaja
Rosemarie: k
Barb: k
BahmaTerri: ..
Liz_: k
AKTATTER: REMEMBER THE LOCK JOINS CALLED FOR IN THE PATTERN, MEAN THE SHUTTLE LOCK JOIN, USING THE SHUTTLE THREAD ONLY (OR THE NEEDLE THREAD ONLY) TO MAKE THE JOIN
Cynthia: k
meowy: .
AKTATTER: NOW PATTY SAID THE SAMPLE WAS TATTED I NSIZE 80 AND WAS 5.5" OR 14 CM WIDE
AKTATTER: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/classes2001/shtljoin.html shuttle lock join
maria alcant: but iam stock in the 3rd row......
Cynthia: what is the problme maria?
picotsnkeys: that does look complicated
Claudia: sorry.. did you have a pic of the snowflake ?
AKTATTER: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/classes2/float/throw2.htm
AKTATTER: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2009/pdowdenneueschiffchenspitzenflake.pdF
AKTATTER: this is the remake by patty dowden
Claudia: ah.. ok.. thanks g!
maria alcant: i dont like to say bad word (tie &cut) si iam looking where to satr and thont do that Cyn...
maria alcant: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2009/pdowdenneueschiffchenspitzen51.jpg
Claudia: gracias maria
AKTATTER: above that was the floating ring how-2
BahmaTerri: ..
Cynthia: I think when you get there it will make sense to jut continue on around still counter clockwise...does that make sense?
Rosemarie: k
Cynthia: just continue without the cut and tie (gasp I said it too!!!)
AKTATTER: if it feels awkward you can always turn the work over and tat the other way
AKTATTER: just remeber to use the reverse double stitch order (rods) where needed
AKTATTER: ok questions??
Cynthia: it does feel funny at first but within just a mew minutes it makes sense...and is easier to do the joins too
Barb: I really like those thown rings.. Those are so cute!
maria alcant: no....starting in ring 3b the first row....probably will let do not do it......
maria alcant: G what is your feeling?
meowy: .
AKTATTER: let me look closely
BahmaTerri: ..
maria alcant: i will tatt it today......some time after eatting time.....
Raelara: How did Mark do the picots in the lockstitch bookmark???
Liz_: k
AKTATTER: ok if you go to chain 3B/4A
picotsnkeys: ah...I know what was complicated looking....the thrown rings in round 1. At first glance, I thought round 2 had those rings in it
AnneB at work: It is a nice snowflake :-)
nstitcher: can a person also use a ball instead of a second shuttle?
Claudia: -
Cynthia: yes and use the slt when needed to keep the shuttle in the right place
AKTATTER: those picots were done i thnik between firs and second half stitch old fashion style
maria alcant: no....ring 3A it will do it...because i will use a split chain to go to the 2nd row
AKTATTER: FOR MANY THINGS YOU CAN N BUT FOR FLOATING RINGS YOU NEED THE SECOND SHUTTLE
AKTATTER: BUT IF YOU GO TO CHAIN 3b/4A YOU CAN START WITH A STARTE PICOT AND AVOID ALL CLIMB OUT PROBLEMS
AKTATTER: AS ALL THREE CHIANS JOIN IN ONE SPOT
Barb: k
AKTATTER: ANY WAY IT IS GOOD TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE THINKING AHEAD
Rosemarie: k
AKTATTER: AND TRYING ALWAYS TO TAT WITHOUT CUTTING THE THREAD
AKTATTER: OK ANY OTHER QUESITONS?
Claudia: i dont like cutting and tie , too!!
Cynthia: Patty did an awesome job on this for all of us
BahmaTerri: :)
Claudia: really lovely the snowflake.. have to study it!
BahmaTerri: need to get back to work. Thanks Georgia and all!

AnneB at work: Bye Georgia!

picotsnkeys: bye Georgia...safe and happy Holidays to you!
Cynthia: Bye all and Happy Tatting
picotsnkeys: hugs to you and your family Cynthia...:)
Barb: Cyn, how is your father in law?
AnneB at work: Happy Holidays to all!
Barb: Happy Holidays to you too Anne :)
picotsnkeys: are the cookies all baked Anne?
Cynthia: holding on...but realistically it won't be very long just days or a couple weeks at most
Cynthia: without the tatting classes and tatting I'd go crazy....
Barb: Oh hon. I'm so sorry. :(
picotsnkeys: are the girls making it through finals alright?
AnneB at work: I'll probably stop by our class room (here) on "non-class" Thursdays, just to see if anybody else is around.
Barb: OH that's a good idea Anne.. Would it be at regular times?
Cynthia: so far they are...we had to tell them but only that he wasn't doing as welll as he had been. I figure if he makes it til Friday that will be a easier on the kids. He is theonly grandfather they knew
Barb: I might check in too then. Even if there is no class we can all chat and have fun anyway. :)
AnneB at work: Yes - but only for the first class - I am at sleep at the "afternoon"-class even at holidays
Barb: ok Anne
Barb: You know Cynthia, some times that's the best way.
Barb: I know that even if a person passes some docs don't always tell the family right away. They will come out in incriments. They'll come out and say.. HE isn't doing too good.
picotsnkeys from x.x.x.37 joined the chat 5 hours ago
Cynthia: I try to drop by regular class times too if I have computer access as we may be in Ohio ...and will be there the week between Christmas and New Years...and I don't know if I can use the comptuer
Barb: Then wait a few minutes and go back out and say.. He's failing right now.
Barb: And then come out again and finally say that he passed. some docs think
picotsnkeys: hang in there Cynthia!
Barb: it's easier on the family to do it that way.
Cynthia: well Lawson is at home under hospice care. His wife is there all the time...it is just very hard on Doug
Barb: So it's good that you are not telling the girls everything right now.
AnneB at work: My thought are with you and your familly Cynthia!
picotsnkeys: He sounds very family oriented.
Barb: e you say, let them get through their finals first.
Cynthia: I figure they will know what is happening but they don't need to know how bad...they know he has terminal cancer just not how long he has...
Barb: Yes, I know how it is. Is Doug going to go back before he passes or???
Cynthia: Thank you everyone for your support.
Cynthia: Doug was there at Thanksgiving and his Dad was doing great then up and about but still weak...
Barb: We all need hugs and support at times.
picotsnkeys: I wish my camera was working so I could send you my photo of the Star of David for comment. Alas, it's broken after 5 years of use!
Barb: Star of David? Tatting or??
Cynthia: I can tell you things I can't share with Doug as he is hurting too much right now
AnneB at work: I was travelling when the last of my Grandfathers passed. I was travelling at the moment, but did not learn about it until I returned home (befor mobile phones). Somehow it was better not knowing while not being at home.
Cynthia: I understand....
Barb: I understand Anne
picotsnkeys: I agree Anne. Home is where hurt can be healed best.
Cynthia: Mel do you have a scanner or access to one at work or hubby's work?
picotsnkeys: no....:(
picotsnkeys: I could run up to Kinko's and spend $10.
Barb: Maybe you'll get a new camera for the Holidays if you hint hard enough??
Cynthia: drat sometimes the dr's office will even do it....NO that is crazy....
Barb: $10 for a picture. Yikes!
AnneB at work: Whaty about a mobile phone with camera, Mel?
picotsnkeys: Well, the camera can be repaired for free since it is a "known issue" that fails oftern.
picotsnkeys: I may try my phone. The picture will be fuzzy, but could work....
Barb: Ahh.. I had that problem with my first digital camera.
Cynthia: I need to run as the truck gets out of the shop after being gone since before Thanksgiving! major transmission issue...theshop closes at 4 and it is almost 20 mins to get there....
picotsnkeys: Sometimes Canon has just been replacing them with a new camera. Hope, hope???
Cynthia: Phone pics do work...just send to my email
picotsnkeys: drive safe....
Barb: I sent it back and they sent me another referbished one and it broke too within two weeks. So I gave up and got another one.
Cynthia: peace and see you tonight or Thursday or both...lol
picotsnkeys: peace...
AnneB at work: See you later Cynthia, and take care !
picotsnkeys: we'll be traveling to Italy in April, so I want to make sure it will work then....or maybe get a video camera???
Barb: hugs to you
AnneB at work: You can make short videos with most new digit al cameras ;-)
Barb: Oh my.. Itally. How lucky you are!
Barb: A video would be wonderful to have for memories.
Barb: Tak both.
Barb: oops
Barb: take both
picotsnkeys: I'm getting excited. It will be only my second time in Europe
picotsnkeys: My first ever in Italy.
picotsnkeys: DH is half Italian, so we're both going!
AnneB at work: Hm - I'm often in Europe LOL
picotsnkeys: lol
Barb: I have never been anywhere except the USA and Canada.
picotsnkeys: I'm nervous about the language. I tend to blurt out French when I need to respond to someone speaking a foreign language.
Barb: I was scheduled to teach beadwork in Irealand, but that was when my hubby had his stroke in 2004. It would have been my first time over there.
picotsnkeys: how sad.
AnneB at work: I have been in USA twice, but never in Canada
Barb: LIfe happens. :)
picotsnkeys: well said
Barb: When were you here Anne?
AnneB at work: Oh - 199something -91 I think
picotsnkeys: back when travel was much easier!
picotsnkeys: the good news is we'll be with a large group most of the time.
AnneB at work: Got to observe star at the MacDonald Observatory in Texas, then came back for vacation same year (in Michigan)
AnneB at work: Being in a group makes it easier.
Barb: gotta run.. have phone call from my daughter.. hugs to you all
picotsnkeys: the bad news is: most of the group will be snotty American kids!
picotsnkeys: bye Barb.
AnneB at work: LOL - you'll just have to ignore them
AnneB at work: Bye Barb!
picotsnkeys: the 2 worst kids will have their parents there, so I can just ignore them. whew
picotsnkeys: Will you be able to visit your folks at Christmas?
AnneB at work: Not a vacation then lol
AnneB at work: Yes - I 'leave for my parents the 20th and stay at their plase until January 1st
picotsnkeys: Do you do any solstice celebration?
AnneB at work: No - not if you don't count Christmas as part Solstice LOL
Barb from x.x.x.12 left the chat 4 hours ago
AnneB at work: We do celebrate the return of the sun in January though
picotsnkeys: I'm scheming to mark the daylight very quietly with something....just as a variety to the Christmas stress.
picotsnkeys: Since the kids are older and there won't be that many gifts to unwrap this year....just something new....
AnneB at work: I need to hear the right son on the radio though
picotsnkeys: lol
picotsnkeys: ah, look at the time!
picotsnkeys: Gotta run and pick up the cello....with the kid too....
picotsnkeys: Hope to check in this week again.
AnneB at work: Ok - see you later this year - or next year!
AnneB at work: Bye and take care!
picotsnkeys: ooooo.....scary thought!

AKTATTER: I'll stop by Thurs of course
AKTATTER: lol
Cynthia: no I just so enjoy taking to tatters a good diversion on what is going so far away...
AKTATTER: in all the languages that I have studied, I always learn two phrases first, "how much does it cost?" and "where is the toilet?"
Cynthia: Some times NE Ohio feels as far away as the moon...
Cynthia: good questions...but you see I have more food words...LOL
AKTATTER: i felt that way when we were still in Alaska and the old folks down here
Cynthia: Doug is doing OK...he's having trouble sleeping and concentrating...but doesn't want to go sit like a vulture either...he is torn but coping

Wally from x.x.x.221 joined the chat 75 minutes ago
Wally: G' night everyone
Cynthia: Beth says the best words to learn are "where is the American Embasy" followed by I don't speak________ (what ever languge)
Wally: that's true cynthia. the first thing i learned in arabic was i don't speak arabic, lol
AKTATTER: hello Wally!
Wally: hi g!
AKTATTER: wally shurkan or shukran?
Wally: shukran
AKTATTER: I wasn't sure how to spell but on hist channel

AKTATTER: wally my little bro again : http://www.akbizmag.com/latest-issue.html
Wally: i remember a few words. Aw.. I would have love to see that special!
Wally: Cool!!!
AKTATTER: I am sure it will replay
Cynthia: Awesome article but I figured it was as much hype as possible after seeing a couple of the other shows on logging--something we know a bit about...
AKTATTER: george says the "dash for the cash" the history channel guys made up
AKTATTER: the drivers just make a many trips as they safely can
AKTATTER: george really is settling in well butit was been a very bad week end for him
Cynthia: Saying I don't speak what ever language with a smile can really help ease a bad situation.
AKTATTER: Thurs, Fri and Sat, each day one of the truck drivers he has worked with for years has passed away. 3!! I am so glad he is off the road
Cynthia: If they don't add some hype why watch...
Wally: Wow! 3 in a week! that's very harsh
Cynthia: Give him a hug for all of us...I understand what that is like...a real downer...
AKTATTER: I was so afraid he would stay too long out onthe road
AKTATTER: I will
Wally: I get out of situtations from languages easily. I just start stuttering which is what really comes out of my mouth when I
AKTATTER: Cyn have you worked with Madeleine elise@compprime.com ??
Wally: asked something in arabic.
Cynthia: someday we'll stop in again and I'll see if I can get a pic with him...I don't often get to see TV stars that I would work with
Wally: they know I'm amarican fast
AKTATTER: sure thing
AKTATTER: right Wally, I was once told that I even "smile" american
Wally: that's a new one for me. lol
Cynthia: No the name doesn't ring a bell...and yes Americans do smile in American...
AKTATTER: American women shake hands and look people in the eyes usually and other cultures the women are more likely to smile and nod I read
Cynthia: I was told it is a more "open, approachable" smile than Europeans do

Wally: Aw.... Love your kitty!!! She's so cute
AKTATTER: need some input on this pattern btw why is there an ss after the scmr is closed? I don't think it is necesssary do you? http://www.gr8shuttles.com/scmr_heart.html
Katie Verna/occhitat from x.x.x.135 joined the chat 50 minutes ago
nstitcher from x.x.x.203 joined the chat 50 minutes ago
Wally: I think it's innecesary but a SLT or half stitch is good to keep the SCMR closed
stitchingsharon: I hollered for help on that heart -- Reit and several others told me to use 2 shuttles -- and boy did that make a difference in transitioning from ring to chain and chains that change direction.

stitchingsharon: Love that butterfly -- and she used one of my favorite colors from HH Lizbeth Carribean
Wally: I have that thread too
Wally: very lov3ely
erin in tenn.: I always get confused as to the second (unflipped) half stitch - do you do a first half unwrapped, or a second half unwrapped? I note Mark did the second half.

AKTATTER: OK THEN LET'S LOOK AT THE SNOWFLAKE ADAPTATION BY PATTY DOWDEN
erin in tenn.: k
AKTATTER: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2009/pdowdenneueschiffchenspitzenflake.pdF
AKTATTER: THE ORIGINAL PATTERN IS FROM THE GERMAN ANTIQUE BOOK "NEUE SCHIFFCHENSPITZE"
AKTATTER: THIS IS ABOUT 19 PAGES AND IS A VERY LONG DOWNLOAD
Hope G: k
AKTATTER: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/public/NeueSchiffchenspitzen.pdf
Wally: love that book! I have made 2 of the patterns already
Cynthia: but well worth it
AKTATTER: OH WALLY HAVE YOU PHOTOS POSTED??
Gail: Georgia, your first link won't link:-(
AKTATTER: THE PATTERNN IS MADE IN THREE ROUNDS
Wally: no. :-( but I can find them later. I need to connect the external hd
AKTATTER: BUT HORRORS OF HORRORS POOR PATTY HAS US CUTTING AND TYING OFF EACH ROUND
erin in tenn.: Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
AKTATTER: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2009/pdowdenneueschiffchenspitzenflake.pdf
Paule: Ican't beleive that!
AKTATTER: OH DEAR IS THAT A SOCIAL COMMENT ERIN?
AKTATTER: WELL WE KNOW NOW THAT THERE ARE WAYS TO AVOID THAT
AKTATTER: SO LET;S TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT IT
Claudia: as i said before.. dont lie cutting and hiding!!!
erin in tenn.: Just added for dramatic impact.
Claudia: like
Wally: I made the collar on page 5 (pdf)and the hanky on page 7 (pdf)
Gail: k
Beadweaver: k
AKTATTER: IF YOU HAVE LINKS WALLY PLEASE SHARE :)
stitchingsharon: k
AKTATTER: THE POINTS OF THE ARMS BEGIN WITH THE TRADITIONAL PATTERN
AKTATTER: TWO OPPOSING RINGS ALTERNATING WITH A CHAIN
AKTATTER: SECOND RING JOINS TO THE FIRST RING OF THE NEXT SET
Hope G: k
AKTATTER: AT THE POINT OF THE ARM
AKTATTER: THERE ARE 3 FLOATING RINGS
AKTATTER: NOW SHUTTLE TATTERS WILL HAVE STARTED THE PATTERN
Claudia: k
AKTATTER: WITH TWO SHUTTLES WOUND CTM
AKTATTER: SO WE WILL JUST SWITCH SHUTTTLES AND THROW OFF THE FLOATING RINGS AS WE COME TO THEM
AKTATTER: BUT THE NEEDLE TATTERS WILL HAVE TO PAUSE AND BRING A SECOND NEEDLE INTO PLAY
stitchingsharon: k
AKTATTER: THERE ARE GOOD POHTOS SHOWING HOW TO DO THIS
AKTATTER: THE OLD LESSON http://www.georgiaseitz.com/classes2/float/throw2.html
AKTATTER: THE NEWER LESSON BY ROGER LLYOD AKA FREEDMAN http://needletatting.proboards.com/index.cgi
AKTATTER: SIGN IN OR SIGN UP ON THE HOME PAGE
AKTATTER: THEN GO TO ADVANCED TECHS
AKTATTER: AND LOOK FOR THE FLOATING RINGS LESSON
AKTATTER: SO ALL IS WELL AS WE DO ARM AFTER ARM JOINING THE OPPOSITE SIDES TOGETHER ON THE RETURN
AKTATTER: BUT THEN
AKTATTER: THE ROUND ENDS
Hope G from x.x.x.93 joined the chat 24 minutes ago
AKTATTER: AND THER E IT IS BIG AS ALL GET OUT
AKTATTER: A CUT AND TIE
AKTATTER: DETAILED PHOTOS http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2009/pdowdenneueschiffchenspitzen51.jpg
Paule: And die...
AKTATTER: http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2009/pdowdenneueschiffchenspitzen2sm.jpg
AKTATTER: LOL WELL ITS NOT THAT DRASTIC PAULE ROFL
AKTATTER: THE NEXT TWO ROUNDS USE THE SHUTTLE LOCK JOIN TO JOIN TO THE PICOTS OF THE CHAINS INROUND 1
Claudia: this photo is a little different than the pdf
AKTATTER: www.georgiaseitz.com/classes2001/shtljoin.html
AKTATTER: AND THE ALST ROUND AHS FLOATING RINGS AGAIN
Hope G: k
AKTATTER: YEP
AKTATTER: SO WE COULD START THIS PATTERN AT A DIFFERENT SPOT TO AVOID THE CUT TIE
AKTATTER: BUT MY OH MY WHERE WOULD THAT BE?
Cynthia: k
AKTATTER: ANYONE GOT A SUGGESTION?
AKTATTER: AND PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS A FAMILY ROOM
stitchingsharon: k
nstitcher: I know I am new here, but what is the issue with cut and tie?
Beadweaver: k
AKTATTER: I THOGUHT FIRST ABOUT DOING THE SMALL CHAIN BEFORE RING 1a
AKTATTER: AHHHHHHHHH
Gail from x.x.x.90 joined the chat 20 minutes ago
Paule: Now you explain G.!
Cynthia: I'd prbably start at the ch 5 at the end....and do it with a paperclip to keep from closing the end
AKTATTER: OUR TATTING LOOKS MUCH NICE WITHOUT THE STOPS AND STARTS AND THE KNOTS AND HIDING ALL THEENDS
stitchingsharon: Cut and tie -- extra work - to be avoided at all costs
Wally: I think I would start at the point
Claudia: the patter can begin the ring before the little chain
Claudia: before the 5 ds chain
AKTATTER: IT HAS BEEN THE MISSION OF THE ONLINE TATTING CLASS TO TEACH EVERYONE TATER HOW TO TAT FROM CENTER TO OUTSIDE OR FROM ROW TO ROW WITHOUT HAVING TO CUT THE THREAD
Paule: Little chain?
nstitcher: oh yes I aggree, tyeing down the ends is a pain....
AKTATTER: RIGH CYNTHIA A STARTE PICOT WOULD DO JUST FINE BUT THEN WE ARE FACING A SPLIT CHAIN SITUATION
Hope G: k
Needlework.Eng: I appreciate the help - hate ends
AKTATTER: BETWEEN EACH ARM PAULE IS A 5 DS CHAIN
Katie Verna/occhitat: and you have been assiduous, sweet GA.
erin in tenn.: I think I would start at 2a
AKTATTER: SO THERE WAS TALK ABOUT STARTING AT RING 4 a ALSO
AKTATTER: HMMMM "ASSIUOUS" THAT BETTER BE A NICE WORD KATIE ROFL
AKTATTER: AND IT IS NOT A BAD IDEAD
erin in tenn.: It starts with "ass" - I'm wondering. . .
erin in tenn.: ;-)
AKTATTER: YOU CAN CLIMB OUT WITH THE SPLIT RING
AKTATTER: :)
Wally: yeah 4a, that where i would start
Paule: I still have not located the 5 ds chain...
AKTATTER: I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD TRY CLIMBING OUT
Cynthia: I finally mastered them and can see a use for them now...those sneaky split chains...
AKTATTER: AT THE PICOT BETWEEN CHAIN 3b AND 4A
AKTATTER: THEN THERE ARE NO SPLIT CHAINS NO SPLIT RINGS AND NO CUT AND TIES
AKTATTER: LOOK AT THE DIAGRAM ON ROUND 1 PUALE
AKTATTER: GO TOTHE YELLOW STAR = START AT 1a
erin in tenn.: That looks good, Wally.
Paule: AH!
AKTATTER: LOOK TO THE LEFT TO THE RING OPPOSITE
AKTATTER: THEN THE SHORT 5 DS CHAIN
Paule: TY
AKTATTER: OK THEN WE ARE ALL AGREED
Cynthia: I see the better way like you said....
AKTATTER: WE WILL AVOID THE CUT AND TIE ONCE AGAIN !!
AKTATTER: ANY QUESTIONS??
Gail: Think I'll be talking to myself. A LOT
Katie Verna/occhitat: GA, you're a fast mover. Not bad for being ass-iduous, huh?
AKTATTER: JOIN THE CLLUB I DO THAT ALL THE TIMNE
Katie Verna/occhitat: Drag us all along!
AKTATTER: ROFL THANKS KATIE....ER I THINK
Paule: A lot of questions!

erin in tenn.: I'm glad Patty chose that book - the tatting really has a different look to it.
AKTATTER: YOU KNOW THAT NEXT WEEK IS THE LAST LESSON FOR THIS YEAR
Katie Verna/occhitat: Bless you, GA
AKTATTER: YES GAIL THAT SCARES ME A BIT, BUT SO FAR I'VE GOTTEN GOOD ADVICE
AKTATTER: PATTS MADE THIS SAMPLE IN SIZE 80 THREAD AND IT IS 5.5" OR ABOUT 14 CM
Cynthia: Without you where would we be???You are awesome Georgia
Paule: If you start at 1A and climb out between 3B and 4A what happens to the rest of round 1?
Wally: Wondering how big will be made in #10. :-)
Gail: Me too. Even make sense most of the time
AKTATTER: AH SHUCKS MAAM I AM SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU ALL HERE TO SHARE THESE WONDERFUL PATTERNS AND THE GENEROSITY OF EVERYONE IN TCLASS IS AMAZING
AKTATTER: YOU CAN'T DO THAT PAULE AND MAKE IT WORK
AKTATTER: IT IS ONE OR THE OTHER
Paule: I don't ubderstand...
AKTATTER: START A 1A AND DO THE CUT AND TIE OR TRY THE SPLIT CHAIN
Wally: I will check if I find the pattern I re wrote for the doily on page 12 with the blocks going in different directions.
Wally: it was a real challenge!
Hope G: k
AKTATTER: OR START AT CHAIN 3B/4A WITH A STARTER PICOT AND AVOID ALLSPLIT CHAINS AND SPLIT RINGS
AKTATTER: THANKS WALLY THAT WOULD BE GREAT
AKTATTER: OK NOW PAULE?
Wally: ew... i don't like to start with chains
Paule: Not sure...
AKTATTER: OK LOOK AT THE PHOTOS OF THE FLAKE PAULE
AKTATTER: LOCATE THE STARTE RING 1a
