Chris Hinton at The Shuttle Shop has come up with a new shuttle concept, and I am one of the lucky people test tatting with it! This bookmark is the first completed piece of tatting to come from this little gem of a shuttle. I am honored that I have had the opportunity to test the shuttle and give my input. To learn more about the process, and to get insight into the developmental stages of designing a new shuttle, come join in the fun at The Tatting Forums!
Oh, and the bookmark... my favorite! "Stumpy" by Kersti Anear. The thread is Altin Basak, size 50, color #304.
I certainly do not know anything about shuttles but I love your new bookmark you have made with this beta shuttle. Happy tatting...
ReplyDeleteAren't you lucky testing out the shuttle. I would be interested in reading the results.
ReplyDeleteIs this your second bookmark for the week (and again it is lovely).
Love your new bookmark and I also love the look of the new shuttle! Wish I had the opportunity to test new shuttles!! Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute bookmark. I think that I should try it too.
ReplyDeleteSo envious of you for beta testing the latest shuttle offering from The Shuttle Shop. Will you be posting a review?
ReplyDeleteThe word verification on my comment is "porsh" -- makes me wonder if the new shuttle is a Porsche?
I'm not an advanced enough tatter to be considered to test anything; but, I do have my name on the list to gt a couple of these when they are released. They sound so nifty. who can resist a new shuttle?

Lovely tatting and shuttle! It looks like there's a little gear inside to move the thread. Interesting! I'd like to hear what you thought of it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bookmark as usual, Diane, and lovely shuttle, I'm jealous.
