The notation is TwW. Although the notations in images could not be changed, all textual references have been altered , & captions added below images.muskaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125166115615109271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725833531759425981.post-20715617740683589492014-07-14T20:20:55.327+05:302014-07-14T20:20:55.327+05:30Hi Grace :-) Well, I coined the term coz it seemed...Hi Grace :-) Well, I coined the term coz it seemed to combine the 2 crafts, as is done in this braid. <br />But as I later found out, the Reverse half hitch knot is already part of macrame. This is basically the same as Reverse stitch in tatting ! So not that much of a new craft after all ;-/muskaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125166115615109271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725833531759425981.post-54955250637767988022014-07-14T20:17:15.852+05:302014-07-14T20:17:15.852+05:30Hello Usha :-) Thanks for reiterating some of the ...Hello Usha :-) Thanks for reiterating some of the important points.<br />The table also has a vast amount of data incorporated within.<br /><br />As re. detailed tut, well that’s just the teacher in me. When we don’t know the skill & knowledge demographics of learners, & it is a diversely-abled group, it is best to cater to the lowest common denominator. This is truer for online tuts than in smaller groups. This does, of course make the whole thing lengthy & introduces some redundancy but it’s a chance one takes to reach as wide an audience as possible so that each individual can pick & choose what suits her/him.<br /><br />Now that I think about it, may be I can write out your 12-step pattern & share it on the forum? At least until I can get around to perfecting graphics & pdf conversions & such other software..<br /><br />Thanks again for this inspiring opportunity :-)<br />muskaanhttp://www.tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.innoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725833531759425981.post-77657703115634767452014-07-14T10:25:11.459+05:302014-07-14T10:25:11.459+05:30Wow, mac-tatting... a new craft, perhaps? :-)Wow, mac-tatting... a new craft, perhaps? :-)GraceThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07091425079680511314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725833531759425981.post-27238531223032591962014-07-14T09:20:23.832+05:302014-07-14T09:20:23.832+05:30Hey Muskaan
Mine was just a 12 step instruction s...Hey Muskaan<br /><br />Mine was just a 12 step instruction set on the braid. Looks like one needs to make the instructions as clearly as what you made here. Many thanks to you. I think a great deal of effort went into making the tut than my experiment.<br /><br />2 tips to the readers:<br />1. Whichever way the RS is made (top to bottom or bottom to top) the RS caps always point downwards. However when one moves from bottom to top with the working shuttles, the color of the working shuttles will always remain on the top and hence the stitches need to be kind of pulled hard on to the core.<br />2. When the color of the threads "seemingly" moves, while the shuttles are worked from left to right and right to left, the colors never cross. The threads remain parallel. Also to see the group of stitches really compact, pls pull the pair of core thread under them a little tight, so that the RS caps snug against each other and one can see the waves more significant.<br /><br />My heartfelt thanks to Judith Connors who strives to educate novices like with the concepts of the stitches. I feel one needs to know just these concepts to open up their creativity with the threads and colors add to that effects. A little contribution to the art with my experiments to all my motivating friends on intatters.. myself and Muskaan would be happy to see this being adopted by our friends out there.<br /><br />Best Regards<br />UshaUshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740866199890399853noreply@blogger.com
