Thanks for setting my mind at rest. Wonder whether Frau Endrucks was inspired by them in this design? 💕muskaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125166115615109271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725833531759425981.post-67719410461229258902021-05-08T17:49:06.658+05:302021-05-08T17:49:06.658+05:30I don't think you disrespected anyone. ;)

Following an early 1900's vintage tatter's mis-calculations threw me topsy-turvy. Many attempts. Finally, I gritted my teeth and forward I pushed myself. Believe me, tears were oh! so close! Wish I was there to wipe away your tears. <br /> I see a tribal celebration dance in Endruck's pattern. <br /> Yes, your arms and hands tell the true movements. <br /> Like you, learned if I can draw it... likely I can tat it. And, vise versa! anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14811475074927928802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725833531759425981.post-38148842598612480462021-05-08T00:27:36.085+05:302021-05-08T00:27:36.085+05:30I like it both ways.

Books can be rotated so a tatted piece faces any direction you like, so how it is oriented in a book isn't all that important to me. If you like it a certain way, that's the 'right' way to do it. If you prefer the way it looks facing a different direction, then THAT becomes the 'right' way - for whatever you have in mind at the time.<br />StephanieWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725833531759425981.post-39624144735654705372021-05-07T18:33:13.841+05:302021-05-07T18:33:13.841+05:30tatting can be vert frustrating.
