Leave enough thread to approximate the length of the picot (you do not need to tie the threads) and do the split ring (B) again finger tatting with the tail which can then be trimmed. Use magic thread trick to hide tail as desired. And study this diagram provided to the class by Matthew Takeda. Matthew is a technical illustrator

Comment by Jennifer Strand on August 2, 2018 at 8:33am: how do i joint new ball and shuttle thread without too many ends?

Comment by Anita Barry on July 14, 2018 at 2:27pm: Hello Elizabeth! Yes. I have completed several projects with out & back direction of tatting. If you have a particular question you can email me at Anita.Bothyfarm@comcast.net . Otherwise, I like your selection of two different colored threads! Look at the exciting pattern it's making with the split rings! In the past I tatted with a single color for up & back, but your image is a nice difference! Makes me want to try it!

Comment by Elizabeth Ligeti on July 13, 2018 at 11:13pm: I am tatting a very interesting pattern - it is in the Fall/Winter Doilies book by Hye Oon Lee, - and, of course, I am working the Last pattern in the book! It has a white centre part, then a broad band of 2 coloured work - which is worked out and back, not in rounds, - like usual.

Has anyone else worked this pattern, or one worked in a "different" way like this?

Comment by Georgia Seitz on June 18, 2018 at 1:03pm: I am looking for a photo tutorial for inverted tatting made with the needle that is copyright free. Any help most grateful.

Comment by Elizabeth Ligeti on February 26, 2018 at 9:29pm: I, too put the afternoon class as #1, and the morning class as #2, -- so Hopefully we will both be in the afternoon class!!!!! Anyway, I will look out for you. We probably have met at other IOLI Conventions - this will be my 8th!!!

I am hopeless at putting names and faces together, and Never remember names, until I have met the person quite a few times. There is some long name for the problem - which I forget!!! Nothing personal - just a mental blank spot!!!

Comment by Patti Duff on February 26, 2018 at 8:31am: I understand Liz. Maybe I will see you in class in San Antonio. I'm taking the afternoon tatting class.

Comment by Elizabeth Ligeti on February 20, 2018 at 6:35pm: Thanks Patti! You make it Very enticing!!! - However Old Age may be getting in the way. It is a big effort to come over this year, and DH says it will be our last trip.

Still, -- we have said that before!!!!!!!!! Hmmm! We will see.....!!!!!!!!! :)
