When I need a new pattern to tat, I always come to your pages first. Seems like I can always find what I'm looking for here. You are a GEM!!<br />Happy Valentine's Day!Carol Schockling Laweckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00118585525880689940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-45749314251711176462011-02-14T11:55:52.854+00:002011-02-14T11:55:52.854+00:00Ah, the good old days...

When I learned to tat, rings and chains were all you needed to know (and really they still are; there are still plenty of patterns that use nothing else). Anne Orr invented the split ring but didn't seem to realize what she had, judging from some of her patterns where she could have used it but didn't. Now they are one of the basic techniques, and we have split chains, SCMR's, loop tatted rings, and don't even get me started on all the new joins I've learned in the last couple of years. Tatting has come a long way!Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07966487848401662776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-90852171338205738852011-02-14T10:24:41.607+00:002011-02-14T10:24:41.607+00:00You're not that old yet Jane, although tatti...You're not that old yet Jane, although tatting has changed over the years, I used to buy a magazine just if it had tatting in as there were so few patterns around, and books were very limited in this country. I then found the Anna magazine which had tatting and knitted lace in now I have every copy from about 1976 until they finished publishing in English about three years ago. They were my main souce for patterns. Now we have the internet and blog land, I only started my blog a year ago and now I have a whole new world of tatting has opened up to me, times have changed a lot over the years, its called progess and for tatting it has progessed a lot.<br />MargaretMargarets designer cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649752567816134409noreply@blogger.com
