Looks simple as you say, just one loooong chain but then... trying to make it look like the tidy celtic woven knot that it should be.... that's another story! Thanks for your post on this, I might give it another try!<br />All good wishes,<br />FrivoleFrivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436608725578367078.post-45454023324371750912011-10-24T01:21:33.548-05:002011-10-24T01:21:33.548-05:00This little pumpkin looks fantastic!This little pumpkin looks fantastic!Orsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170041743094783517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436608725578367078.post-76569935922849605492011-10-23T14:37:33.057-05:002011-10-23T14:37:33.057-05:00Congratulations on figuring this out.

The first is the 'easier' one (to me), where layers of 'normal' tatting are cleverly interwoven , such as Sue Hanson's 5-pont Celtic motif, or Rosemarie Peel's celtic motif, or LaRae McKulecky's bookmark using on a split-ring base. <br /><br />Then there is the woven, "very-long-chain" concept, developed by Rozella Linden (and others?). It's VERY effective, but it appears you have to tat the chain to a SPECIFIC length for the pattern, and I have often wondered how the chain stays 'controllable'. It seems that using a small paper clip for one end for the weaving would be the way to go. <br /><br />I have Rozella's 'Celtic Tatting' book but it has intimidated me, even though the book is well illustrated. You've confirmed my theories of how it is generally accomplished!Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-436608725578367078.post-38564512949584223552011-10-23T09:50:27.649-05:002011-10-23T09:50:27.649-05:00I love the look of celtic tatting, but have yet to...I love the look of celtic tatting, but have yet to try it.

Also, I used a little safety pin on the lead end on the last one I tried, to weave with and it really helped.<br />Fox : )Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889386206601730189noreply@blogger.com
