This time I've doubled up on the dingly dangly bits and added beads to the chains on two consecutive rows.
I'm not sure if anybody would want the pattern/patterns for this but I will put it together eventually unless I go off on another idea which often happens!!!
Although it's really really simple with just a few split rings (Diane!!!) it is a bit fiddly for the last few rings and chains as you have to work with the bead inside the tatting. Well worth it, I think.
Keep going, Jane, and you will re-invent Ankars. Hehe. Interesting work. I can see how it would get fiddly.
ReplyDeleteFabullous!!!
ReplyDeletenice bell shape !!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm okay with working the bead inside the tatting, but split rings? Sigh... I guess I have to bit the bullet! ;-)

ReplyDeleteWell, I'm among the anybody who would be delighted to know how to make these. I have a stash of light wooden beads (from where????????, I can't even remember) that are much too big for a necklace. They would make perfect Xmas decorations with a little help from my shuttles and a huge and gratefully received help from you :)
I'll get it all sorted soon, crafty sylvie!!! I've got a 'butterfly brain' (BC3) which does tend to flit from one thing to another but I will sort it out within the next few weeks. Promise.
DeleteWow, that sounds great, thank you! I know what you mean about a butterfly brain, my own 3 BC keep bickering over which craft I should do. Hence, dozens of projects in progress at any given time :)
DeleteI certainly like it.
