Pin It now!
Recently a tatter wished to understand how these inserted rings in the Rose Circle doily were made. I, too, had tried to figure it out back in 2018 from which arose this Rosebud Heart. Following is the roughly and quickly drawn sketch I shared in the group illustrating how the rings are interlaced/stacked/inserted ....
Note that it can be made with one shuttle and ball. It has the Russian ANKARS-style stamp on it.
After a lengthy search in my compy, pen drives, and other storage areas, I finally found my original pictures (haven't looked for the real heart yet) and decided to share the prototype pattern. You are welcome to tweak it and hopefully share the adjusted count so that we can all benefit.
Start with the central ring (each ring is 15-15) and move around, ending with the tiny mock ring at the base.
Design TIP: The central (1st) ring is squished. My tip is to increase the chain segments , thus pulling that ring upwards.
Back to the original query (may 3rd, 2021) in the
Chiaccherieno FB group.... It led to a diligent search for the original designer/pattern. This is
Ninetta's summary of all the findings -
'Summary:
The pattern of the centipede is by Reiko Akimoto (who signed 
April Fool's) and the pattern was granted
by the author during a course held in Japan in 2016. This information can be
found on the website of Ka-ryun (link is above in my comment). Until now the
scheme has never been made available online, neither free nor paid. The pink
element, formed by inserting circles into each other, is similar to the one
used in a JTatter paid scheme (Celtic 3), on etsy (link is above in Linda's
comment -https://www.etsy.com/listing/400761825/tatting-pattern-pdf-celtic-3?ref=shop_home_recs_1).'

Very unique!! :)
ReplyDeleteShould've been better, Sue, but it was a trial to understand those rings 😃💕
DeleteIt was a great first!! :) We get better as we tat it more and more-of course you already know that!!! ;)
DeleteOh yes, things we thought were tough, turn put so simple as we mature tatting-wise 😃😍
DeleteInteresting effect.
ReplyDeleteRussian tatters use such interlacing of simple elements into 3D models quite commonly. But I needed to figure this out when I first saw it back then 😍
DeleteInteresting heart, I think this takes a bit of practice.
ReplyDeleteWhile tatting I kept inserting the rings on the go, but for the diagram I showed them separate - easier to visualize. I actually think they are very easy, Margaret 😍💖
DeleteSo clever and looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marilee 😍 I'm sure you'll be able to use it much better in one of your patterns 💖
DeleteMany thanks for reporting my summary! I spent some time around it! Only one thing, the word "centipede" should be doily, hope this makes sense!
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure seeing tatters enthusiastically digging for the info, Nin, thank you so very much 😍💖 Google can only translate to a close approximation, sometimes hilariously 😲
