I have been doing a tatting pattern off the internet to do booties for Nora. Sometimes I know exactly what they are wanting me to do, and sometimes it is like reading greek...no comprehension at all! I have had to email another tatter twice to have her help me by diagramming what I am supposed to do. I can do the actual stitching of the tatting just fine- it is just hard to know exactly where they are wanting me to go with some of these things.
Anyone else ever experience this when they pick up a new needle craft? I know it will get easier as I learn more. And the tatting itself if so fun and easy! I could make tatted lace all day! :)
Maybe I just need Maryjane to produce patterns! LOL Her instructions in her book were perfect and I understood them right away! LOL

Alee, this is one of the downfalls of the tatting world. There is no universal code to patterns. One time a picot will be stated with a "p" and the next time it will be a "-". I suppose the more you tat and try different things the more you learn and understand, but as a beginner it was very difficult for me to read patterns. Actually it still is!

Alee....Oh, you really hit the nail on the head! I have been knitting for about a year now and I can knit socks, and about anything else as long as someone will show and tell me what to do. But heaven forbid I should have to READ the instructions!! I was telling a friend the other day that it was like reading another language to me. I'm glad I am not alone!! You know, we WILL get it at some point! |
