Help me name my new celtic motif.../Name found - looking for test tatters!

[crazytatter]

I am not good giving names but looking at the red one I think of planets. really curious how you did it :)

Just reporting on my quest to increase the number of rings in this type of celtic. It has been a wild ride. I draw it up first and have separate drawings showing the addition of each ring and chain. Turns out that past 4, there has to be a ring or two that is made woven around the crossing chains that go through it. So I have backed down to the 4 ring design that you did and when I finish it, I will try 5 rings, which definitely needs one rings woven around the crossing chains.

the problem reminds me of doing Venn diagrams of set intersections... 2, circles, clear. 3, circles, easy, 4 circles.. manageable, 5, don't think I've ever seen a 2dimensios solution.

I have decided on a name!

"Fiddler's Dance Celtic Knot" - I think it has a nice sound to it, and I googled and no other tatting pattern showed up...

I just wrote up the tutorial. If anyone is interested in test tatting it, send me a private message with your e-mail so I can send you the .pdf file. Thanks a bunch!

How about Intertwined Rainbow for the rainbow colored one. The red one: The Big Bang Theory ?? (I'm not really great at coming up with names. . .obviously!!LOL!)

Hi Janet!

Thanks for your new suggestions. I have already decided on a name - I will try to update the thread title. I revived it to ask for test tatters - are you interested in trying it? I would love the feedback from someone with not much celtic experience too. Of course, not pressure, just if you feel like the challenge!

I qualify! I have not much Celtic experience — so far, I've only tried Margaret's pendant. Not much experience all round, either — my chain tension is still quite uneven.

I would be honored to test it.....either needle or shuttle which ever you prefer.

Hi Soyloquesoy,

I'd love to test-tat it too if you still need people!

Hey how cool to get so many offers!

Let's see, I am going to make this simple: here is the pdf to test tatt. I will remove it when the test tatt is over.

Let me know if you find any mistakes, or if you have any doubts while making it, so I can improve it. Also any language awkwardness or un-clarity (InTtatters is international and I'd love for it to be clear for English as a second language speakers - plus English is not my everyday language either). In short, anything you feel I need to know

I had only written it for shuttle tatting, so if anyone wants to needle tatt it (which is probably a good idea! ), please be patient and tell me how you would explain it to a needle tatter...

Thanks a bunch everyone!

Edited to add: One more thing: refer to my blog post here: http://creativasuculencia.wordpress....azados-celtas/

for the weaving the ring thread before tatting the ring part. I should probably add that link to the tutorial, now that I think of it... This test tatting is proving useful already!
