13 Years ago when this pattern was created, different parts of the world had different ways of writing out patterns. His is unusual to what I am used to, and requires study. I do like how he explains a measurement called "unit", calling it a length of a double stitch.
Contemplating this is very smart and anyone could adapt his pattern to there thread if they didn't have same size thread.
He explains that the bare threads areas are so many units long. |

Got some new shuttles too, from Shuttles by Design My husband did a great job ordering these fabulous gifts, and letting me chime in on what I wanted they are wonderful and well made. Thank you to both I have more and will show them as I go :)
I am very happy , have a great day all!

Beautiful tatting! Clever measurement unit, actually the bare thread lenghths are active parts in the pattern.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's how he explains how long to measure the bare thread. He tells you how many units to each bare thread part.
DeleteBeautiful. I enjoy Ben Fikkert patterns.
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to see some of the patterns you have made up of his. I never see enough of he's patterns made up.๐
DeleteIt's an usual pattern. Sounds as though you have to work the pattern out, but you're doing a good job of that! Pretty shuttles, I guess they don't fit into each other like the dolls.
ReplyDeleteVery funny ๐
Deleteunusual pattern!
ReplyDeleteThanks ☺

Thank you๐
DeleteBen's patterns are beautiful! I have yet to attempt one, though. I will have to re-read the book I have of his now that I have a better understanding of tatting.
ReplyDeleteYes, I feel it is very tricky and you've got to concentrate mostly because the directions are just not what we are used to
DeleteBeautiful work, and lovely shuttles!

Oh good, cause I am very excited to start the pine needles next to the pine cones ๐
DeleteAre those the little dolls that go into each other? I forget what that is called. Nice shuttles! Ben's patterns can be a challenge. Looks like you handle it well.
ReplyDeleteThanks those dolls are "nesting dolls" they have another name that I can't recall right now They started in Russia or Poland or a country around there. Thanks on the doily☺
