Level 2
This class will introduce the tatter to TheShuttleSmith's approach to Split Ring Tatting Technique, specifically how to read and use 'illustrated' patterns. You will learn: how to identify and work TOR's (Thrown/Take-Off Rings) from a split ring; why the pattern path is the way it is written/illustrated; how to get information such as when to reverse work and use of FS/BS tatting. Karen will also discuss 3 different approaches to physically tat the split ring--specifically the 'second' part. Once you understand how to read TheShuttleSmith's illustrated pattern & are comfortable physically tatting SR's, you'll truly understand the 'Fun' in Split Ring Tatting! Using a tiny, 6-ring, cross pattern, you will learn the basics of The ShuttleSmith's approach to the designs in her book series.
