So I had a free lesson tatting booth this weekend at our local quilt show. It was very well received! Some people picked it right up. Older crocheters I could not get them to loosen their grip on the ball thread trying to flip the stitch. They would not keep correct hand hold in the pinch. One lady sat with me a very long time, I helped her her and helped and helped. I then just kind of gave up because I am not a crocheter , so I could not tell her how to hold it in her muscle memory. I let her down because I do not crochet and could not get through. She was a lefty so I had her mirror what I was doing from across the table. Not sure if I will do this again, but if you have any tips in case there is another lesson opportunity, it would be greatly appreciated. And about your video……the pressure to make is real!!! Yup I too get paralyzed anticipating…..Sometimes I think that the creative process of any craft I get manic….I don’t want to do anything else…not cooking, not cleaning, not working. When I am in that phase or cycle, I kick butt. Right now I am in a lull. The pressure to create is flowing, but I am relieving the pressure with my wips, and am just not going to think about them. The snowflake is pretty! Oooooo your big doily is gorgeous! The bottom doily is gorgeous too! I like it! ((((((Hugs to you))))). Tatters unite, or untie if you accidentally typo hahaha
How awesome and exciting!! So glad you got to demo tatting, that sounds like so much fun. TIPS: send them to my channel. LOL Seriously, there are a few different ways of holding the pinch with either the index and thumb or the middle finger and thumb. Also you could try reverse Reigo method because they "let go" more so and will perhaps "find their own pinch" more organically. I've been really feeling like making a SCMR vid lately and have wanted to do that one the longest. Though now, you've given me a bit of inspiration on making some shorter ones that I could just blast out... ie different pinch/ways of setting up the loom.... hmmmmm.... I just need to DO it, and not give myself any time for anticipatory anxiety. (Easy to say, right?) I LOVE your sign off - and often have to untie my tatting... I wish it were as easy to fix as a typo!! Thank you so much for commenting! See you around the interwebs!!
Thanks so much!! If life would calm down a bit, maybe I could squeeze in a video or 2. I'm so glad you enjoy watching. Have a great day. Don't be afraid to reach out with questions, I'm around and happy to help!
@@opp_thumbs_n_scissors Thank you, I will. I found your picot video especially helpful in correcting a problem I was having despite having watched dozens of other videos.
Glad you see your smiling face again and a few giggles. Tatting is a knotted journey on the way to make lace. (k)not Confucius but you get it! Make lace on your journey the rest are just knots! Love you

That's awesome! Glad I could help. Just out of curiosity, was it the counting? That issue tripped me up a lot in the beginning.
Hugs Angie, thank you for sharing your journey... love your work!
Thanks Miss Deb. Appreciate you reaching out!

Thanks Laurel! Pretty wise sayings from (k)not Confucius. I don't think I can do a video without at least 1 giggle. Lol
