So, I now keep my crochet hook on the table next to me. It's far less dangerous!<br /><br />I love the hank edging! The book looks great, and I'd be tempted to get it if I ever bothered to knit up the patterns I already have! ; )Lace-lovin' Librarian ~ Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032689683092213368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123350875394219438.post-79204326703546039542011-03-29T18:48:17.143-06:002011-03-29T18:48:17.143-06:00Teresa, it looks like you're doing the spiral ...Teresa, it looks like you're doing the spiral stitch which is repeatedly tatting either the 1st half or 2nd half of the ds. I think it's harder to keep a length going consistently, but it IS pretty. I usually do some form of the set stitch, using the first half stitch for "x" repeats (usually 4) followed by the same "x" number of the 2nd half stitch. Just keep doing that and snug it up regularly. I think it turns out with more consistency, but everyone tats different so don't take it as gospel!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127914310809216760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8123350875394219438.post-1749821390911798572011-03-29T18:10:55.105-06:002011-03-29T18:10:55.105-06:00Lovely tatted edging and you lucky girl to have wo...Lovely tatted edging and you lucky girl to have won Spud and Chloe.
