These tatted pumpkin necklace and tatted pumpkin earrings are super cute projects for us needle-workers. I have yet to try tatting, but it looks like a lot of fun and this would be a perfect starting place!
Supplies:
Orange Crochet Thread size 10
Green Crochet Thread size 10
Tatting Needle size 5
Cross stitch needle (I always use that to hide my ends because it is easier for me to use-it is different from a regular sewing needle in that it is not sharp and has a bigger eye)
Earrings (2)
Scissors
Clasp
Jump Rings
Iron
Spray Starch
, your video helped me fnlliay get the flip down. Thank you so much. I’ve tried other resources but yours is the one that made the breakthrough.Possibly a new shuttle tatter should always try to use 2 contrast threads? I’ve only been using 1 and it has made it all the harder.Certainly it is a jolt to start with needle tatting and try the shuttle, but I feel it will be worth it; even more than that, the right needles are difficult to get in my country so I’ve been using doll needles and knooks (not typo) to learn. I’m going to keep practicing and I’m sure eventually the movements will be second nature. You’re quite the brilliant teacher to be able to break it down so well for us, as well as super generous to share your knowledge. Seems tatters are generally kind people. I was referred to your site from a friend on Intatters.com and though I’ve tried loads of other crafts, I’ve never been as happy as with this one. Thanks again. I will look at your other vids when I grow confident with the flip!Cheers.
