I did it! It wasn't easy, and Dave looked at me funny a couple of times (I was mumbling a few choice words), but I managed to tat some split rings! I'm too tired to go back to Jane's T.I.A.S. tonight, but maybe tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteThat's great, Diane! Congrats. I hope you will come to love split rings.
ReplyDeleteAtta-Tatter, Diane! Huge applause from me while I stand and clap (a lot).
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried Single Shuttle Split Rings yet (just the sound of it is a bit intimidating to me) but if you decide to give it a go, let me know and I'll brave it with you.
Well done, well done, very well done!
ReplyDeleteYou will love 'em.
Good for you. I've tried repeatedly to learn split rings- now I just make sure there aren't any in a pattern before I even think about if I would want to do it.
