Sneak Peek

I've finally gotten around to creating a pattern that will be suitable for an iPad design tutorial. I've been wanting to make a tutorial for a number of months, one that can be used as a detailed reference for anyone who wants to try their hand at using an iPad to design.

Here's what I've come up with:


The larger version is tatted in Lizbeth size 20 white, with a jewelry finding I purchased at Hobby Lobby:


The smaller version is tatted in DMC Cordonnet Special size 50 Blanc. I think the DMC has a more delicate look:

It will be a while before I make a proper diagram, so I've included a picture of my notes if anyone wants to use them as a guide. If you right click on the photo and open it in a new tab it should be large enough to see the numbers. If not, let me know in the comments and I will see what I can do.


I hope to get the tutorial finished in a few weeks. It will consist of multiple posts, and I will post one part each day, so keep an eye out if this is something you are interested in!

Update: I've uploaded this pattern to my Free Patterns page

You can also click here to go directly to the pattern

Enjoy!

      Thanks muskaan! And in case you (or others) have any trouble with my pattern notes, I should have an Inkscape diagram ready to go by the end of next week if all goes well :)

      Hello Robin,
      As you've already seen on InTatters, your pattern notes & diagram are perfect ! Very easy to follow & tat. And the snowflake lays flat. It was great fun doing it.
      In fact, I began the 2nd round from the 'wrong' end - & had to tat counterclockwise. Thought I'd do FS/BS for chains, but kept forgetting. Didn't seem to make any visual difference anyway in size 40 thread.
      Thanks, again for sharing your pattern :-))
      Now I need to try out some of your earlier ones too :-)
