F...The slippers look great! Now I want some! : ) <br />Front side/back side tatting - that's all I do. Since I learned it I just like the look of it and now I have trouble NOT doing it. Nothing wrong with not doing it if you like the results. But at least one of my patterns look very weird if not done front/back (I tried it). Good luck with it.tattrldyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749374085792405962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565269898418464234.post-80669280204071089782009-11-19T10:21:07.819-08:002009-11-19T10:21:07.819-08:00Hi, backatcha, Kathy!
I LOVE the slippers! As f...Hi, backatcha, Kathy! <br /><br />I LOVE the slippers! As for frontside/backside tatting, I never do it. I like the thought that my tatting can be turned over and over and it's still on the right side!<br /><br />In response to your comment on my blog:<br /><br />The thumb is fine now, but you've given me a swelled head -- I'm not certain I'm going to be able to get through the door!<br /><br />The Annalisa does need to be blocked -- or at least steam pressed (Tatting Chic is so right about that). I need to spread it out a bit with my hands and straighten some of the chains so the picots are all on the correct side! I made a mistake in one set of chains by using one too many picots, so I did it all the way through the whole doily. That's why I have to stretch it a bit.<br /><br />As for the covered rings: Yes, I cover the rings afterwards, catching the picots. I use the method Jon Yusoff shows on her blog at this address: http://tatsaway.blogspot.com/2007/09/wrapping-plastic-ring-with-double.html<br />I think she's a genious with plastic rings!<br />The patterns I used for the rings were all slightly altered, shortened chains, or and extra row or whatnot to make them fit into the rings I already had! <br /><br />I did order my Oren Bayan threads on line from Sunny's Ebay Store:<br />http://stores.ebay.com/sunnymailbox<br />She's wonderful to deal with, and everything comes just as advertised.<br /><br />Wow, thanks for the compliment on my knitting. I compare myself to my sister who makes thing up as she goes along then enters them in their local fair (she lives in Maryland) and gets first prizes on everything. <br /><br />Enjoy your Thanksgiving -- and thanks for the comment, you've made my day!Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660864900839865295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565269898418464234.post-90857287941857911992009-11-19T04:01:24.389-08:002009-11-19T04:01:24.389-08:00I love the edging on your slippers!

It was exciting seeing the Nina and to walk around on the replica. It is not a very big ship, I thought it would be bigger.<br /><br />I have not done any front side, back side tatting. I think I would get confused on what stitch comes first.

I always imagined myself married to a naval officer... too many John Wayne/WWII movies when I was growing up I guess! <br /><br />I've tried frontside/backside tatting, but I always get mixed up. I count myself lucky that I've incorporated down joins into my work and that my tension seems to get better with time!Lace-lovin' Librarian ~ Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032689683092213368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565269898418464234.post-71547489101310147372009-11-14T00:46:08.610-08:002009-11-14T00:46:08.610-08:00I'm never sure about front side/back side tatt...I'm never sure about front side/back side tatting. I'm writing my patterns to help people achieve this nowadays but am still not sure it's important. Fine IF you know that the piece is only ever going to be seen on one side (ie if you sew it to something) but what if it's a mobile or a doily where the recipient doesn't 'know' there's a right and wrong way to put it on the table? Food for thought.

You do such a lovely job of coordinating colors and textures! I like how you used the bigger thread with the coarser texture of your slippers! The colors coordinate nicely, too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569720420483740487noreply@blogger.com
