I don't know whether I was having a down day or what! Do any of you ever have days that no matter what you try, tatting just doesn't work? I had a week like that as I was doing lesson 2.<br />But sitting in the pity parlor isn't for me; especially, since I KNOW it's possible to sit in that corner. Most of life is a series of decisions; and, I decided long ago to try not to spend such time observing my navel! Too much introspection can be debilitating!<br /> <br />Thanks for dropping by and sending encouraging words. <br /><br />Wish I could be with those of you who will be in SC and Palmetto!

You are such a treat.<br /><br />Tatskool, I love my snowflake you designed; and, even if it took great concentration you arrived at a wonderful result! :>)<br /><br />Nah, let's just say you audited, Maureen. I know you had a lot on your plate during that time period!<br /><br />Well, I have 4 or 5 sketches for part one of lesson one...and two of those tatted. (after many tries and cutting apart) Pretty bad when one can't tat their 'own' scribbled pattern.

One can DO that...sounds like something I should seriously consider....esp. since I took 'forever' (by my count) to do lesson 2...Have the stitch count done; have to do the tatting.

I hate math. And, at 73 why in the world am I forcing myself to do arithmetic that I so loath. Drawing the sketches, fine..Understanding about negative space ..okay....but working out stitch counts? aghhhhhhh<br />BUT I'll take a photo of my nice organization of materials.

I really doubt if I ever design anything; in fact, it's questionable whether or not I'll be able to finish the course (especially if it entails a lot of math). <br />Your approach works so well, along with brain cell #3 You don't need to be concerned with it...LOL<br />The organizing may be the Best thing I am capable of doing at the moment.
