It took me a long time to learn how to 'slip the knot'. Two friends started
me off making rings. Then I joined the Pompey Tatters & saw people being
taught to make a chain with 2 colours. Finally I understood!
Pam Palmer made a video which was available from Springetts which is very
good if a bit slow in places. I don't know if it's still available.

Jeri, I have a book, I have been looking at sites, I sat in front of a u
tube
video thinking how easy and clear she sounded (but my fingers are stiff
and
shoulders too tensed, trying to keep up with the video too.
I did go to someone at a craft lesson who tried to show me. Again, got
some,
missed some, by the end of the two hours I was so tense that I fault sick
and
ill.
I need to calm and chill, and have hoped to find someone I can see locally
who
would go over and over it with me guiding me until I did get it. I tried
with
a shuttle and with a needle. Got to the end of one ring and then didn't
know
where to go next.
Trouble is I am so hooked on the bobbinlace, I dont spend enough
concentrating
time on the tatting. I am determined that I will learn, but have a
deadline
for the current pieces.
I dont know anyone locally who does it to help me. I am assuming it is
just
me being thick, but I will find my book and try again.
Thank you for your encouragement. Sue T
