Making progress on the shuttle tatted choker/necklace/whatchamacallit. I've always been fascinated by lace making, but the bobbin and pin method is a) impossible to do on the go and b) a sensory nightmare with the clacking of bobbins against each other 😵‍💫 i was so happy when i discovered shuttle tatting, which eliminates both issues and is actually not that hard to learn. The stitches are structured pretty much like macrame knots and the patterns/diagrams are easy to follow. Even for me, and i can't stand reading patterns 🫣 this is a free pattern i found online, originally meant to be attached as edging on a handkerchief.

@trashpandacreative Yes! Tatting is so much more portable. But I do like the sound of my bobbins.

Ironically, my favorite shuttle is one that doesn't make the clicky noise with the thread unwinding though.

This aerlit shuttle can be unwound silently as well, i don't do well with higher pitched noises 😅
