I can crochet and knit and want to tat also.

I'm self taught and have been tatting for 2 1/2 years. As long as it's relaxing for me, I'll keep learning. I may not use a recently learned technique again. It's just kinda nice to know that I can 'do' it.

(It comes from teaching math classes, probably.)

I do kind of like the look that the front side/back side tatting has, though I don't worry about it if I don't do it. (The "look" is for my own personal satisfaction though, no one else's!)<brCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18305969547263496679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29831661.post-58614225156209231732011-04-13T15:01:58.243-07:002011-04-13T15:01:58.243-07:00Whew!

I do count the join as the first half of a stitch. I've been doing it for years and it works for me. Sometimes I take somebody else's pattern and figure out ways of working the pattern that are more comfortable to me. It works, it'sMartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660864900839865295noreply@blogger.com
