dani's CYOP TIAS - day 6
hi all!
sorry for the lack of a day 6 yesterday, but i was home sick... sigh... nothing big, just... sick.
we've had some confusion when i made a mistake (of which another was found, this time in day 3) or when i varied from the previously established pattern. so i'm noting where it might look wrong, but isn't, i swear!
today's options are A&C vs B
@(B) if you wish to follow option B, include the orange portions surrounded by @ signs. @
%(A&C) if you wish to follow options A or C, include the blue portions surrounded by % signs. %

Jeanne appears to be choosing to use {split ring/chain}, where Suzanne is option for [standard].
dani's TIAS - day 3
i think i'm going to call the options a CYOP - Choose Your Own Pattern... kind of like the CYOA - Choose Your Own Adventure books from the 80s.

Dani's Easter TIAS - day 1
hi all!
i've come up with something slightly different for this tat-it-and-see... multiple choices! the first few days will be all alike, then i'll present options A, B, and C for the last few days.
i envision this done in a different pastel color for rings and chains, and a different pair of colors for every round, but i did mine in the variegated i happened to have on my shuttle. it would look good in anything, really!
a couple more bits of bookkeeping, i'll present split ring/chain options in {pink curly braces} and normal tatting in [green square brackets], and i'll show the number of new rings at the end in (parentheses).
on to day one!
R: 3-3-3-3
*Ch: 3-3
R: 3+3-3-3*
repeat 4 more times
Ch: 4+ to side p, 4 + to top p
Ch: *3-3 + to next top p * to end
Ch: 4+ to side p, 4 + to beginning
[cut and tie]

enough to start? excelsior!
