That is some glorious crochet!

I also had this glorious, shiny black cotton in size 10. Vintage. And I tried so hard to tat with it. And it broke. And it broke. And it broke. I tatted so gently, but when I joined to a previous part of the pattern and that part broke? I gave up on that thread.

That is so disappointing. I've had that experience. I'd send you some of my thread if I could.

ICE Is Expanding Across the US at Breakneck Speed. Here’s Where It’s Going Next ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, monthslong expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

And a kind soul posted a free loom knitting version (I bought the knitting pattern, but I may donate some money in her name in thanks for the loom knitting help).

Have you tried tablet weaving or sprang or nalbinding? Those are some fiber crafts I want to try.

@discord.com why do you need my identification? You already had a data breech in October 2025. Why should I trust you with my data now?

Thank you. I've been spitballing based on the knitting pattern I bought. I'm about halfway through the brim, but I'm willing to frog & start over if the loom knitting pattern give me better info.

The only crochet I do are power cords & headphone cords & I don't knit with needles at all. But I can loom knit. I've made hats, scarves, soap bags, washcloths, shawls, shrugs, & I've almost finished my 1st pair of socks (I need to sew up the toe on the 2nd one). You can stick to small projects.

This is a successful gauge swatch. In that I know that gauge is completely wrong for my project (Melt the Ice hat), so I frogged it and made a new one.

You mean the chains? Those are lock chains (1st half flipped & 2nd half unflipped or vice versa). If you're tatting with ombre or multicolor thread you can get a striped effect.

3 tatted snowflakes, 2 are same pattern but 1 has beads. 3rd is diypattern.

Patterns? By Jane Eborall. Thread? Flora size 20. Tatting? By me. Ends? Need hiding. Snowflakes? Need blocking.

Using multicolor or ombre thread with a strong contrast also helps. When the hand thread & shuttle thread are different colors, it's easier to see which thread is forming the knot

Do you want tatting resource suggestions? Jane Eborall's website has great tutorials.

Congrats! 🥇

From the pictures I saw he was very skilled & made lovely crochet. And it's possible he tatted (it was known by the mid19th century). If he did, I know a tatter who has a brochure about tatting & she'd be thrilled to add him (if he did).

As a tatter, you immediately caught my attention. Thank you for introducing me to his crochet, embroidery, & basketry. I didn't see any info about his tatting. Would you be able to direct me to where to find that info?

Good luck. I have confidence you can handle it.

Why did you use bobbin thread illustration? Cause those bands are not tatted. And you have some inaccurate statements, i.e. tatting made with small thread when any size cord can be used as long as the knots slide. Post shuttle are not strictly for beginners, etc

Nothing forgive. Everyone makes mistakes, experience just teaches ways to fix them.

Watching Leverage again, and it's the Two Live Crew job & once struck by how good Wil Wheaton is in this episode.

Loose ends need to be trimmed & it needs to be blocked.

It starts as 1 complete thing (Theseus' ship) & bit by bit, you repair & replace parts until nothing original remains. Is it still the same thing (shop, jeans, etc) or is it a new thing?
