Jane recently posted instructions for a new method for tatting a floating chain, with this spider pattern to try it out. Floating chains are really fiddly for me, (think split chain with one end that won't stay put) so I thought this was worth a try.
Well, the tatting part goes pretty easy, but when I pull the thread end back through the stitches, I have a terrible time with the thread twisting and tangling. Those of you who don't tat as tightly as I do (ie, almost everyone) may not have so much of a problem. Anyway, it was a fun exercise, and a potentially useful new technique.

ReplyDeleteI have to tell you that your title gave me quite a chuckle today. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGreat spider.
I have to watch the twisting problem too!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the dangling spidey.
ReplyDeleteI must confess, I tried Jane's new technique three or four times and each time was not able to get the thread to pull through. Congratulations on your success!
Your spider looks great! I haven't tried that technique yet but it makes a nice spider.
ReplyDelete.The itsy-bitsy spider
ReplyDeleteClimbed up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
And the itsy-bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again
and your silly spider like to hang upside down.. heheeheehehee
