Congratulations to Julia and Catriona, the winners! ]]> soyloquesoy http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?1083-Winners!-¡Ganadores! http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?1044-April-tatting-giveaway-in-my-blog! Fri, 30 Mar 2012 12:16:00 GMT

One of the great things about “tat-land” is how generous it is. I have been the grateful, happy recepient of several giveaways, (and I do enter almost every one I see!) and it is now time to give something back! It is a humble little “this-and-that rainbow” prize, with bling, tool, thread and lace!

Una de las cosas especiales del mundo virtual del frivolité es la generosidad. Estoy super agradecida y contenta de haber recibido varios premios en diversos sorteos (si, ¡me anoto en casi todos los que veo!), ¡es hora de de dar algo a cambio! El premio es un humilde “arcoiris de un poquito de todo”, con cuentas, herramienta, hilo y encaje.

Bling: a bunch of round flat shell beads.
Tool: a celtic wire shuttle hand made by my brother. Perfect for interlocking rings!
Thread: a 50m hank of my rainbow hand dyed. And the winner can choose the size! I’ve got 80, 50, 20 and 10. (pictured is size 20)
Tatting: a tiny sample of the celtic rings you can do with the wire shuttle, and a small round motif.
Cuentas: un manojo de cuendas redondas planas de nacar.
Herramienta: una naveta de alambre, ideal para frivolité celta con anillos entrelazados.
Hilo: una madeja de 50m color arcoiris teñida por mi. Tamaño a elección del ganador, tengo 80, 50 20 y 10. (en la foto, hilo número 20)
Frivolité: una muestra mínima de lo que se puede hacer con la naveta fina, y un motivo redondo.

Since I don’t post too often, and I want to give a chance to all my tatting friends, I will be keeping this open for a full month. I will make the draw on Saturday, 28th April. To enter, just leave a comment. I will be centralizing the entries on my blog post – one entry per person, anyway, though. I know some people were not able to view my blog, so I am copying here. Please make sure I have a way to contact you!

Dado que no publico muy seguido en general, y quiero que todos mi amigos y amigas frivoliteros tnegan oportunidad de anotarse, voy a dejar la inscripción abierta todo el mes. Haré el sorte el sábado 28 de Abril. Para anotarse, simplemente dejen un comentario en este post. Estoy centralizando las inscripciones en el anuncio en mi blog – una por persona en total. Como algunas personas no podían ver el blog, lo copié acá ¡Por favor dejenme una vía de contacto con la inscripción!

This is my first giveaway, so I may be forgetting some important detail – please bear with me! Ask if you have questions, and I will be adding info as the month goes on.

Es la primera vez que hago un sorteo, así que puedo estar olvidándome de algún detalle – tenganme paciencia, pregunten si hace falta, e iré agregando más información a lo largo del mes.

I hope you enjoy this!

¡Espero que lo disfruten! ]]> soyloquesoy http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?1044-April-tatting-giveaway-in-my-blog! http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?274-Learn-something-new-each-day!-¡Cada-día-se-aprende-algo-nuevo!

I had looked at discussions of people learning cluny leaves for quite a while. And last Monday I just decided to give them a try - I got some no. 5 cotton perlé, and followed the instructions linked - after some tries, I was going!



No pattern, just a long succession of clunies and split rings - I found adding the split rings helped me a lot - so the new cluny did not "mix" with the one before.

And one things leads to another, I wanted to try "hanging clunies" - the explanation on the nov. 2006 entry in that blog was just totally clear, and I managed to make some fun doodles with the last of the thread in my shuttles.

Here is a close up!

¿Recuerdan mi primer Celtic Curly Wreath? ¡Lo hice de nuevo!



My chain tension is not really consistent yet, but I am really pleased with the result anyway :happy:. I loaded just enough thread into two shuttles and tatted them normally - I could not find my flow in direct tatting :ermm:. I unwound the working shuttle to pass the chain through the previous SSSR and then tied it again to make the new SSSR - and then unwound it again to use it in the double thread, as shown in this video. (Thanks AnneB!)


No tengo una tensión muy pareja en las cadenas todavía, pero me gusta mucho el resutlado de todos modos :happy:. Lo hice poniendo sufieciente hilo en dos navetas, y haciendo las cadenas del modo normal - no encontraba buen ritmo al haceralas sin transferir los nudos :ermm:. Para pasar la cadena por el anillo dividido anterior, sacaba el hilo de la naveta y después lo volvía a atar - y volvía a desatarlo para hacer los últimos puntos del anillo la naveta en el doblez del hilo, como se ve en este video.

The intatters forum had a giveaway last (Northern) summer, with a draw among those who participated a lot. I was one of them :innocent:, and lucky to win a prize! I was starting to worry that it might have got lost in the mail, but here it is! :flowers:

A while back, Chari asked for help with this pattern at the intatters forum. Frakira rose to the challenge and made a very clear step-by-step photo tutorial.

I made my piece after looking at the tutorial, but not following it. I am really pleased with the result, and have grand plans for a second one! ]]> soyloquesoy http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?255-Celtic-Curly-Wreath http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?230-Stitch-Markers-for-knitting-Marcadores-de-puntos-para-tejer Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:15:51 GMT I first saw this in a ravelry project (http://www.ravelry.com/projects/utlinde/maschenmarkierer-occhi)when I was starting to learn. They are other... I first saw this in a ravelry project when I was starting to learn. They are other super fun and practical thing to tatt! There is no pattern: just a ring (tatting over the first tail when starting), a single shuttle split ring, and a last single shuttle split ring to hide the last end. Lots of different effects by changing number, placement and length of picots in this last ring, or adding beads to it. The Daisy ones are only slightly more elaborate, I may write up the pattern sometime.

Vi estos marcadores por primera vez en ravelry. Otra cosa super fácil y práctica para frivolitear! Todos los improvisé. Para las margaritas tengo que pasar en limpio las instrucciones, los demás son simplemente un anillo (escondiendo el hilo del principio bajo los nudos al comenzar), un anillo dividido de una sola naveta, y por último otro anillo dividido de una sola naveta que sirve para esconder el final del hilo. Las variantes están en cambair la cantidad y largo de picots, o incorporar mostacillas en el último anillo.


I sent this as presents to my good knitting friends all over the world. Here is a closer look at them!
Estos los mandé de regalo a mis amigas tejedoras alrededor del mundo. Acá los pueden ver en detalle!

It was thus that I found tatting covered plastic rings, and great, clear instructions on how to do them! Thank you Jon Yusoff!

Hay muchos y muy interesantes blogs y páginas sobre frivolité, donde aprender e inspirarse. Así fue como conocí los anillos cubiertos con frivolité, y tambien las instrucciones para hacerlos. Gracias a Jon Yusoff por la clarísima explicación, y a Wally Sosa por la traducción!

This is what I have done so far with this technique:

Esto es lo que he hecho hasta ahora usando esta técnica:

Earrings - Aros:



Zipper pulls - tiradores para cierres:



A keychain ring - un llavero:



A backpack decoration - Un adorno para mochila:



I am sure I am not done exploring this!

¡Estoy segura que no he terminado de explorar esto! ]]> soyloquesoy http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?198-Covered-rings-Anillos-cubiertos http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?189-Bookmarks-Señaladores Sat, 24 Jul 2010 02:40:59 GMT When I was learning to tatt, I read some advice: Practice doing a lot of bookmarks!

These are just some of the ones I have made since then. They are fun to do, they make great personal gifts, they can be ready quite soon, and the repeating patterns give a chance to get into a rhythm. :thmbup:

Cuando estaba aprendiendo frivolité, leí una recomendación: Practicar mucho haciendo señaladores. Acá muestro sólo algunos de los que he hecho desde entonces. Es divertido hacerlos, son regalos muy personales, se completan pronto, y las repeticiones permiten encontrar un ritmo al hacerlos. :thmbup:
