Split Ring demystified!
Tried following a tutorial for split rings and was left with broken rings and chains hanging in mid-air. Pretty sure I wasn't doing something right! Posted a question on the Yahoo group I joined and one lady went above & beyond trying to help me out by adding a new tutorial on her blog. I got it!
And made a bookmark of sorts. Kind of looks like a fly swatter! Thought of adding one of the colorful butterflies to it. Butterflies are NOT for swatting though, so maybe not.
But at least it's finished and I worked enough split rings to really "get it!"
My new book arrived. Tatting Collage by Lindsay Rogers would be worth the list price just for the pictures. Even if I never tatted anything from it. But I've already done butterflies & stars from it and that Bonsai tree on the cover will end up on a fabric postcard

Stop, stop! I beg you! I cannot start another hobby at this point!
But, it is mighty tempting. You're doing some really nice work there.
Hi Laurie,
Thank you for dropping by my blog and for leaving a comment. I have not gotten round to making picture #2 clearer with so many things at hand, but I will soon.
I have always used shuttles for tatting but would like to try needle-tatting, just to see if I can. But first must get the needles for it. :D. And you tatting is looking good!
Jon
