Jane Eborall gave me this site to learn the split chain. It is the best. I've watched it several times and my first tries were a little messy. But you soon learn that you want to keep the ds over to the left. And you leave the first half a little loose. Then you pull the second half to tighten the first then pull the shuttle to tighten the second half.
The next row is going to be a heart. I'll show it again when I'm finished.
Here's the site for Maire Smith's instruction on the easiest way to do split chains.

    This is a good video, but I notice that it is specifically for front side/back side tatting. If you are not tatting the fs/bs way then doing the split chain this way will make the stitches the wrong way.
    If you need to make the stitches the other way then you can do the split chain the way I do it in my video. Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPXkMb2BV2g

    Thanks foe sharing this. I've tried before to learn this, but never has it been clearer or easier looking than this. Can't wait to try it myself.
