Making progress on the shuttle tatted choker/necklace/whatchamacallit. I've always been fascinated by lace making, but the bobbin and pin method is a) impossible to do on the go and b) a sensory nightmare with the clacking of bobbins against each other

i was so happy when i discovered shuttle tatting, which eliminates both issues and is actually not that hard to learn. The stitches are structured pretty much like macrame knots and the patterns/diagrams are easy to follow. Even for me, and i can't stand reading patterns

this is a free pattern i found online, originally meant to be attached as edging on a handkerchief.
