The first day we worked with single shuttle split rings and that afternoon we tatted this little beauty:
Tatted in size 80 "Majestic".
I just LOVE Camelia's pineapple designs. They are a joy to tat!
My new friend Karla taught me Lucet (I know, I know, it isn't tatting...but it IS something I have wanted to learn for awhile). Karla made a wonderful video on YouTube where you can learn it too.
I still need to perfect my tension. Currently I am working on a lucet cord in silk. I already have lots of ideas for using lucet cord with tatting.
The second day we received a delightful apron pattern from Irene Morgan. Unfortunately I have not yet finished tatting it because I was a "knotty" girl who was working on another project during this time.
I am happy to say that that "other" project was the last project I needed to finish for my Master's T.A.T. program. I cannot tell you how wonderful it felt to turn in the T.A.T.
I have been working on the program for nearly 3 years. If all goes well, I will have my Master's tatting certificate soon. Double WHOO HOO!!!
...and lastly I had the privilege of teaching a lesson on folded rings to my new buddies. It is a lesson which I plan to share here when I get a few minutes to do so.....Hmmmm....hopefully by the end of the year??? LOL

CONGRATS on completing your T.A.T. program...that's quite an accomplishment!
Congratulations on your Master's T.A.T. ! I just sent off for the apprentice phase - hopefully some day I will have a pin and not just a dusty binder!
The butterfly you made is GORGEOUS! The pineapple design is SO pretty.
I'm not able to open the lucet video so I will have to check that out later... or maybe I shouldn't,.. especially if it's another addictive hobby!

Yep, lucet cord is pretty cool. It looks like fun!

I went to camp wanna tat once and loved it, was intimidated by it, but would love to go again. I just wish it wasn't so far (which means expensive) to travel to.
Camilla is the queen of pineapples!
And Congrats on the T.A.T. Master's Program. I guess I've just lost interest in completing it for now. Maybe next year...
is the ppineapple a side-view butterfly, or will it get another wing?
Congratulations on completing the T.A.T. program! I still have to finish the first phase.
I love the butterfly! Sounds like you had a lot of fun!
I never heard of Lucet but it sure looks interesting.
Congrats on finishing the TAT program and I love the butterfuly!
love the pineapple butterfly! What a coincidence... I have been tatting pineapples lately too! Weird, wild world...

Congrats on the on completing you T.A.T. masters! I've thought about doing this but just can't bring myself to start.
I heard about Camp Wanna Tat a few months ago and would love to have gone, but alas, it was not to be. Sounds like a lot of fun! The butterfly looks great.
Wow! Congratulations on completing the T.A.T. program! Way to go, girl!
Fox : )
I am truly inspired. Maybe in January, TAT 3! : ))
Krystal,
The butterfly should get another wing...but it's not going to.... LOL!
Congratulations Sherry, what an accomplishment to finish your T.A.T program. good for you.
I like your Pineapple butterfly and yes, I started to do Lucet cords several months ago and also want to try to incorporate lucet and tatting. I have a booklet with instructions for doing a cord similar to the old Coronation cord but haven't been able to perfect the technique yet.
Well done you brilliant
Oh Well Done and Congratulations. I really admire those who stick with a challenge; and, I know the goals set and passing each level isn't the easiest thing to do! I'm SO proud of you, with all the moving and upheavals; yet you FINISHED. GOOD OH!
LOVE, Bev
Good luck on your masters T.A.T. Sherry. I am sure you will get it.
The butterfly is totally awesome! I just got a lucet a few months ago! It's a teeny tiny one that I can use with tatting thread...it's so cute! I'll have to show it sometime. I, too, have seen that video on YouTube! In fact, I think it's the one that made me want to learn it! I thought...what a perfect thing to make for a tatted drawstring bag because the tatted cords (usually spiral tatting) tend to get caught up in the lumpy tatting and this would go much smoother AND it will MATCH! :) hee hee!
