I finished my pink and black band tonight, and I can tell that I still have a lot to learn!
The top section shows the beginning of the band, which is very loose and untidy. The bottom part is tighter and almost looks puffy. Obviously, I don't have the tension part down yet!
Maybe I didn't follow the pattern correctly. The blue band had a definite pattern on the back, but this one does not. Did I do something wrong? I'll have to talk it over with Mom in the morning and see what she thinks.
I also tatted three more Ice Drops today. I'm getting close to the end of my ball of thread. It will be fun to see how many more I can tat from this ball of Spring Garden!
To me you seem to be achieving the impossible anyway. I'm sure you'll get the better of it in time. Remember the early days of tatting? Well, I can't as it's such a long time ago but I'm sure that wasn't easy over tension either!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I do remember those early days of tatting! I'm sure I'll look back on this experience and wonder what all the fuss was about!
DeleteYour pink band look pretty I am sure given a little time it will be perfect,
ReplyDeleteAnother set of beautiful ice drops
Your band still looks nice!! :)
ReplyDeleteMore great Ice Drops!! :)
Practice, practice, practice!
DeleteI can see the difference between the two. Which means you are improving! Good for you.
ReplyDeleteI do feel like I'm improving, although at times it seems like two steps forward, one step back. :-)
DeleteExcept for the start, you have woven an excellent band with striking colours :-)
ReplyDeleteI do like the colors. I really think the polyester thread made it more difficult. I'm going back to cotton for now!
