You’ve one of the people I kno...Oh my dear Martha. You’ve one of the people I know takes the greatest care to stick to what has gone before. We’ve had many discussions on how to explain techniques etc. I think the funniest new thing I’ve read is ‘true rings’. I’d love to meet a lying ring - one that can’t tell the truth!!! Your patterns are so easy to follow and if you do need to you explain unusual techniques very well. Is there a difference between ‘thrown rings’ and ‘thrown off rings’? They are new descriptions for rings on chains which (to my poor old BC3) explains that they are a ring that sits on top of a chain!!!! It’s all very complicated and the whole craft seems to be getting more complicated as the years go on. <br />GoldenMom - thank you for not naming the designer in public as it could’ve been embarrassing for both of us. BUT we ought to save others from this type of problem which is what I’d like to do. Perhaps new designers will read this and stop and do their research first. There’s a lot to be said for simple designs but even those need to be well explained. I’m always happy to help the newbies but sadly not many ask for help.Jane Eborallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129528958253092545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-33452783005614320522024-03-12T18:29:12.885+00:002024-03-12T18:29:12.885+00:00Am I guilty of this one?

I thought a "thrown-off ring" was any time the second shuttle was used to make a ring after doing a switch shuttle so the curve of the chain (or split ring) was not disturbed, and that RoCh and RoSR were alternate terms. I think I picked this up from osmosis of assorted people speaking of throwing off a ring from a chain. Is it acceptable to use this verb form? I don't say "thrown ring" at all. It sounds like I need to clean up my act on this one.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902036588224843966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-24831254123261748732024-03-12T15:41:57.502+00:002024-03-12T15:41:57.502+00:00Jane, thanks for your thoughtful approach to this,...Jane, thanks for your thoughtful approach to this, and for your generous way of helping a new designer. I agree with you about the established tatting terms. I saw a cute design on Etsy, and I purchased it. Now I totally understand your concerns about some designers (and this one will remain unnamed). I could not follow the diagram without many trial and error attempts. By the time I was finished, I had re-written some instructions so I could make this design again should I wish to do so. Sadly, it was NOTHING like a Jane pattern with a clear diagram and written instructions too! Your patterns are clear and you're generous to share them with us! I'm writing a book, but I want to thank you so much for all you share with the tatting world.
