This is so awful, was supposed to be a pot holder, who am I kidding!Now for the yay part. Faizon came over and sat next to me and she said "Would you like to learn the split ring?". I did not have a chance to answer ;) So armed with shuttles in her hand she showed me how. She made it look so darn easy. I should think she was actually saying "Come one get to the deep end, get off your comfort zone". And guess what, a split ring I did!! Yes!! You see what some words of encouragement can do. Thanks a mil Faizon. Here's the proof:
After every stitch of the split I had to check if the ring was still alive (tat talk)!Also I had help from Jane. My fingers are now doing the itsy-weensy-spider! ;) Their well and alive! She's a super tatter and have recently adopted a family. A riot I assure you! :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Congrats on learning to tat! Sorry crocheting didn't work out so well for you. :o)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly did, good work on the split. Sorry about the crochet though, but never thought you'd be giving it up so fast, ;)

Did not know there was a differnce between the two but you make it look easy and cute.
ReplyDeleteHey Barbara, thanks for the Chinese New Year wishes! :) I look forward to stuffing my face with lots of food, muahahaha. *grin* And nope, sorry, won't be planning to a trip to KL during that period, but my partner's father will be working there from March 1 onwards, so if we ever plan a visit, I will be sure to let you know! And all that tatting talk is too confusing for my poor brain to understand, but I know it looks good! Hee hee...
ReplyDeleteThanks again for dropping by, I'll catch up with ya when I get back!
