#Tatting

[christina2475]

I must not fear the yarn. Fear of yarn is the mind-killer. Fear of yarn is the crafting death that brings total obliteration of a project.  I will face my fear of yarn vomit. I will permit it to pass through my fingers and past my frustration. And when it has gone I will turn the wip into a finished project.   When the fear is gone there will be no yarn vomit. Only a completed project that needs blocking will remain.

thinking today about how much I love literally all fiber arts. I am hopeless at almost every other kind of art, but as soon as there is thread, yarn, or string I can figure it out fairly quickly.

I learned how to knit when i was eight, started sewing at nine, my dad taught me rock climbing knots around that age, I figured out from a book how to make friendship bracelets, I've made my own drop spindle to make yarn with, and more recently I've picked up visible mending. I've learned embroidery through fixing my overalls, and this year I've learned how to darn and how to do sashiko (which I did for the first time today). After years of being unable to crochet I finally figured it out last night and made seven granny squares in just a few hours.

I want to learn every fiber art that I can. I want to quilt, I want to use a spinning wheel, I want to weave, I want to learn tatting, I want to learn how to weave a basket, I want to learn them all. If I could travel through time and meet anyone in the Bible, high on my list are the craftsmen who made the Tabernacle.

I want to travel the world and learn the fiber arts of every culture, from the gorgeous Mayan weaving in Guatemala, to the stunning batik of Java, to Kente in Ghana. I want to sit at the feet of experienced men and women and watch them do their craft expertly and learn from them.

Of every art form I've seen, it's fiber arts that tug most at my heartstrings.

I don't understand how lace is made, but looking at the bobbins and pins and patterns … listen buddy I know math when I see it. This is A Math Thing. Obviously.

Right away I want to know:

Can I encode information in lace?

How much of an expert must one be to make your own patterns?

What about the creation of surfaces?

Knitting is more accessible, and people have been exploring math with knitting forever.

But what possibilities does lace offer?

What is the theory of lace?

An excerpt from Mathematics Magazine Vol. 91, No. 4 (October 2018), pp. 307-309

Shows I'm hardly the first person to muse about this. Need to get my hands on the rest of this article, obviously.

Yearning for her (the fiber craft I left at home because I thought I wouldn't be bored)

No matter which textile craft you look at, it has weaving in ends, and everyone hates it with a burning passion.

Doing fibre arts in public is always very funny because no one except other fibre artists ever has any clue what I’m doing.  Like, I thought it was common knowledge what knitting and crocheting looks like?  But people keep asking me if I’m knitting or crocheting when I’m doing cross stitch or tatting.  I don’t expect anyone to know what tatting is or looks like but I did expect them to know it’s not knitting.

Knitting a freehand bag and started wondering how often people even use patterns, anyway. So--how often do you use a pattern when you make things ? This include knitting/crochet/sewing/weaving/nalbinding/bobbin lace/tatting/etc but also things like woodworking, cooking, and baking. If you want to just pick the thing you do most often that's fine.

I personally do not use patterns as I find them far more confusing than just figuring out the construction of an item and simply making it. I do very occasionally browse ravelry for inspiration but have downloaded maybe 2. In the 5 or so years since I joined. And have followed exactly 1, which I modified every single aspect of. In my defense, dyslexia.

#poll #knitting #crochet #weaving #tatting #sewing #quilting #nalbinding #bobbin lace #cooking #baking #theres just SO MANY patterns out there and i kind of dont understand why... who is using them ??? #they are so hard to follow even when written well #i get that thats dyslexia talking and not true for most people but it still baffles me #i also dont follow cooking/baking recipes but in a different way #the issue for crafting patterns is that i cant read and so i cant figure out what the hell im supposed to do #but recipes are usually lists and dont have tons of abbreviations and dozens of steps #so i can kind of read recipes but i just like doing my own thing and also have been burned by recipes before #so even if i try following the recipe as hard as possible i will inevitably change some things #like what about the whimsy. also i will use a butter wash after taking this out of the oven i dont care that it says eggs #and while i dont do legos anymore i was the same with that too. we got a kit once and my sister loved following each step #oh my god. the worst. i would covertly make other things with the remaining pieces while she assembled the thing #i do think that were i not dyslexic i would still not follow patterns #like i said i just prefer to do my own thing most of the time

💖 Commission Post 💖

Hii, I'm Iris and I'm making tatted doilies! I'm currently a full time student dealing with long covid on top of an already stressful senior year, and I would like to be able to make some extra money to buy groceries and stuff.

At least 10% of each order will go towards a mutual aid fund, I can provide proof if requested!

Examples of my work:

Prices tend to start at $10 and go up depending on size/difficulty, but I can work on a sliding scale!

Placemat/centerpiece I tatted for my grandma this Christmas. Took me forever to tat if I'm being honest and I never want to count by 6's or 12's again.

Made using the Wild Rose Luncheon Set Pattern published in Dover Needlework Series book, "The Tatter's Treasure Chest" Edited by Mary Carolyn Waldrep

I love how I am able to tell exactly when I have become 'passable' at a skill (painting, crochet, tatting ect.) because that is the moment my mum stops complaining about me picking up a new hobby and starts asking me for free stuff

a little bit in my feelings about finishing this round. I started it in the veterinarian ultrasound clinic while I was waiting to find out what was wrong with my dog. it was liver cancer, and it was terminal. two days later she was dead. but the craft goes on. bit by bit, knot by knot. linking the past with the future. I never thought of this as her project. she was just part of my life, for so long. Anything I did - was it about her? generally not. it wasn't about her because she was the background radiation of my life. a photograph is not about the sun. but I think this doily is hers, now.
