Yes, that's right. I tatted FIVE rings last night. I know it is very little. However it has been since December and I am pleased to have accomplished it.
Oh, it's so good to hear from so many of my good friends and sisters! Thank you all for the encouragement. I didn't tat any last night. I was too tired but maybe tonight. Wonder if a ring a day would keep the doctor away? LOL Alas, no pictures. It's not a pretty sight. I used my huge Tatsy shuttle and size 10 thread. Gotta start somewhere. I didn't want to pick up an old project and mess it up or get discouraged. I'll save that for a few days. Hope you all have a wnderful day and evening.
