so... this project might need a bit of blocking... i know i've been stretching mine flat as i went along...
day 3 - Tatskool
day 5 - Tatskool
Option B - Marco - close... the last round is a bit off... i'll check and see if the pattern is right.
8-)
Tatting patterns with the added 'fun' factor. This blog is for the patterns which I'm going to list in 'parts' on my web site. These I'm calling the 'Tat It And See' (TIAS) as the finished result will not be seen until the pattern has been completed!!!

dani's CYOP TIAS - pics 1
so, clearly, by "tomorrow, lunch time" i meant "Sunday morning"... i don't call myself "dani, the late" for nothing... sigh.
in a comment from an earlier post, Tat'sKool asked how to send pictures for posting. my main email is dmr22, cornell, edu. we have comments now, so you can put them there too...

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. %
a reminder: {split ring/chain} and [normal tatting]

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]
(6 rings total)
enough to start? excelsior!
