Today's pattern bit was very straight forward. The most challenging
part for me in this section was the measured mock picot. It took me a
few tries to figure out how to hold my gauge and get the distance right.
I don't normally tat with picot gauges - so that may take some getting
used to. The only thing I'm not happy with is that the first picot
twisted - I'm hoping there is a join to that picot later on that will
correct that issue. I don't have any guesses yet as to what the finished
pattern might be.
EDIT:
So I definitely made 1/2" picots yesterday, using my picot gauge vertically. So with Sherry's announcement this morning that the picots should be 1/4", I had a bit of fun retro tatting. Each time I practice taking out a ring it seems to get easier. I managed to undo all of yesterday's work so that I could re-tat Day One. So here it is, in all it's 1/4" picot-y goodness.
