- I hope some of you will want to join me in making this beautiful collar from the Priscilla No. 2 Tatting Book. This is a vintage publication that is available for free online. Here is the link:
www2.cs.arizon...
You can find the collar on pages 30 & 31.
I've had this collar on my "want-to-make" list for a long long time so now I'm hoping to finally get it completed and share the process with you at the same time.
I am working with no.10 tatting thread and one shuttle (shuttles used in my videos are made by me and can be found for sale in my online shop: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/LaCossette).
Thanks again for sharing the link for the Priscilla book 2, l am so happy just enjoying
Your handiwork as well as the book. Mary Ann in Az
Hello Mary Ann, sorry for my late reply, I've been away. Thank you for your comment, glad you enjoy the book and the videos.
It was so relaxing to watch the movement of your hands. Such a pretty collar I can’t wait to make it.
Hi Lynette, thank you for your comment. I hope you enjoy making it. I'll have to hurry up and figure out the next part! :-)
Thanks so much for this!!! Tatting with you is a true cultural and historical experience.God bless your hands
Hello Gisela, thank you very much for your lovely comment. :-)
I actually love the long videos with all the tatting, as long as you feel up to filming it!
Thanks for the feedback! I don't have another series in the planning just yet but will keep it in mind for future.
I like watching the whole project, please. I can always scan forward if I need to, so carry us along. Thanks for your videos. I watched you closely and taught myself to tat. It took me 6 months and plenty of knots, snarls and cramped fingers to get the technique down. Part of my problem was counting the stitches. You count the last half stitch of a picot as the first stitch of a string of stitches. It was maddening to figure that out!!! After watching over and over, I finally got it. Thanks!
Hi Mary, thank you for your comment. Normally I count the join as the first half of a stitch and then complete the join with the second half of a double stitch before carrying on with normal double stitches. Occasionally I do it differently, depending on the project. Sorry if that was confusing! Well done on persevering and becoming a tatter. :-)
Great Joelle,no one like you!!I’m so happy you show this pattern,Priscilla tatting book is not so easy to understand for me,but now everything is clear….thank you so much from your Italian follower Monica!!
Hi Monica, you're very welcome and I hope you'll enjoy making the collar along with me. :-)
What a blessing to see this video. I don’t know anyone else in Texas who tats but I just can’t stop. Like someone else who posted, I would never have attempted this collar until I watched you. Now I just have to try it. Thank you so much.
You're very welcome Kathleen. Glad you'll be joining in! :-)
Hello Joelle, you make it look so easy...I would never in a million years have even thought of attempting this collar if I hadn't seen you make it. Now I cant wait to try it.Thank you...
Hello Tej, thank you for your comment. As I said in my comment above, I'll now have to make sure I can figure out the next part of the pattern. Old patterns can be a bit difficult to decipher sometimes! :-)
Thank you for everything, the pattern, video and in-depth explanation. I just downloaded the pattern and I’ll save it for later. ✨✨✨🙏
You're very welcome, I hope you enjoy making this beautiful collar.
In just finished the Victorian trellis collar. It went along very quickly. I made each round a different shade of blue. I made a little detachable blue ribbon bow, to pin on the front of it. I sent it to my cousin in Texas. I would love to make the collar on this video.
Hello Steve, how nice to hear you completed the other collar and that it went well. I bet it looks great in shades of blue! I hope you decide to join in on this one. At the moment, I'm still trying to figure out the next rounds as they don't fit quite well for me as written in the pattern. I might upload a short video explaining where I might have to make changes to the pattern.
I have fallen in love with this collar as soon as you put it on your blog for the first time. I can’t wait to make this as well!
Great! And you're such a quick tatter, you'll be making this in no time. :-)
Simply gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
Your tatting is so uniform…..beautiful!!!
Thank you very much. :-)
This would be beautiful trim with just the joined medallions! Beautiful!
Hello, yes, you could certainly just make the medallions, or still have a border but work it as a straight border to have it as an edging.
hi glad you made another video,love listening to you while i tat.immediatly started to work along with you,i've got the instructions of the priscilla book 2 beside me.it sometimes is a bit confusing what they mean,glad you've worked it out.
Great! Thank you for your comment and glad you are joining along!
Thank you so much! I am very excited to learn to tat this collar with you. I began my tatting journey by following your beginning shuttle tatting video.
Hello Debra, that's lovely to hear! Very glad I helped you get started with tatting. Hope you'll join in with this one! :-)
@@11Frivole yes, thank you,! I am working on the first medallion
I'm also on the team for seeing all of the steps. I find it easier to follow and it has the added bonus of providing an estimate of the time a project will take. Your time plus at least 50% because I don't tat quickly. 😁
Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful project. Always enjoyed and appreciated.
Hello Silver Flames, thank you for your comment. I see your point about helping to know how long a project might take... but I'm still on the fence about filming everything full length especially when there are lots of repeats of the same thing. This will be the case especially when we get on to the next rounds of the collar where something will be repeated for the whole length of the collar. :-)
This is just so gorgeous. I don't think I could ever figure this out, but I sure enjoy watching you make it!
Thanks so much 😊
I've always wanted to know how to tell what I should use. Thank you so much. Your work is exquisite. I can't wait to be able to tat half as good as you. Thank you for sharing your expertise. I'm looking forward to your next video.
Thank you for your lovely comment Jill. What would you like to see next?
@@11Frivole I want to learn so many things it is hard to pick one. I think the one thing I would like to learn next is how to start the next round of a pattern and knowing when to cut your thread and start the next round versus using a split ring or other method to start the next round without cutting the thread when using one color thread. That is one thing I would like to understand. Thank you so very much.
@@jillfischer3492 Hi Jill, I think it's more a matter of preference really. I like to move seamlessly from one round to the next as much as possible so will use a split ring or split chain wherever I can to achieve this. On the other hand, if I'm about to run out of thread on my shuttle and nearing the end of a round, then I will cut and start with freshly filled shuttles for the next round. So it depends on the circumstances too. Does that answer your question or did I misunderstand?
@@11Frivole Yes, it does perfectly. It helps me understand so much more. You have been such a great help to me, and I'm sure so many other people, in understanding how tho tat. I can't thank you enough. I am having a wonderful time. I look forward to your next video. If I can think of something I would like to learn, I promise to message you. Thank you again.
Beautiful. I used to tat. This color and pattern is so lovely. I’d do it right with you but I have essential tremors and can’t any more. I have blue ribbon pieces from county fair. I love watching you though.
Hello Teresa, sorry to hear you can't tat anymore, it makes me sad... but thank you for your comment.
Thank you so much for this series! I love vintage patterns but they can be quite intimidating. Your wonderful videos make it so much more enjoyable :)
You are very welcome and thank you for your comment.
I jumped up for joy, Joélle, when I saw a tat along with you!!! I will print the pattern and take notes as I tat with you. Thank you for putting this out there…and I hope your tendinitis stays quiet. 💕
Hi Maria! Hope you're keeping well and that you'll enjoy making this collar. What colour will you choose?
@@11Frivole , I am doing very well, thank you. I have a burgundy color I will be using. ☺
Many thanks again for your extraordinary work!
You're very welcome Raphaël! :-)
I'm a little behind! I started yesterday and am more than excited! My first Tat-a-long. In answer to your question, I think you hit the perfect balance between showing the process of the tatting but fast-forwarding to the next step! Well illustrated but I would get bored with watching the whole process in real time. Thank you for your videos, they have helped me immensely!
Hello Miranda, thank you very much for your nice comment and feedback. Glad to hear you are joining in with the collar! What colour is yours going to be?
@@11Frivole I wish I could post a picture. The color is sort of hard to describe! It's called Antique. It is a very light brown with a pink overtone. I love the color of yours though, and wish I had something similar!
@@11Frivole maybe you would call it Dusty Rose. That's seems right-ish.
@@mirandahinton3250 Oh, I think dusty rose will look beautiful for this collar!
Been offline for Lent and just saw this now. Starting it up this weekend! Lovely!! Hopefully I can catch up with everyone!
Nice to hear you're joining in! :-)
@@11Frivole Must be out of practice...had to make three attempts on the medallion before it turned out in an acceptable fashion! :-) This will be a very enjoyable project for Spring evenings!
@@tfdl2756 Wonderful, now you have it figured out, I hope you'll enjoy making it.
Beautiful 😊
Many thanks!
You asked if we wanted to watch the entire project being done or if we would want to skip the repeated work. I honestly could go either way. With your work sometimes I get entranced in what you do. If you need or want to make the videos shorter, by all means skip ahead or make the video speed up. I'm enjoying every bit.
Hello Anna, thank you for your comment, glad to hear you are enjoying the videos! I do try to show as much as possible but sometimes it does seem it would make the video just too long to show every single stitch. :-)
Love this video .thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! :-)
I love seeing you do a few repeats and the speed up the video. Or cut to the next part. I do have a question when jumping from 4th-5th rounds I probably would have done this wrong-so it would be helpful to see what the pattern says and then show us how and why. Your work is amazing!
Thank you Kris, do you still have a question about going from the 4th to the 5th round? Thank you for your kind comment.
Awesome thank you so much for this lovely videos 👌❤
My pleasure 😊
Hi, I saw a video you made 10 years ago about a doily from Jan Stawasz. I bought one of his books but I find it difficult to read the patterns because of his special technique. Can you made a video about his technique? It would be very much appreciated.
I love the way you present the videos very good to follow. And still learning although I made my first little doily 50 years ago. Thank you for sharing this pretty necklace.
Hello Emilia, the technique Jan Stawasz uses is basically "front-side/back-side tatting". It means that when you are working on the back of the work, you start your stitches with a second-half. On his diagrams, he has blue numbers and red numbers and to be honest, I just follow the numbers associated with standard tatting rather than the ones associated with his method. He does add a half-stitch before picots on the front side if I remember correctly but I'd have to refresh my memory on his technique. Not sure if I'd make a video on his technique... but I'll bear it in mind for a future video idea. Thank you for your comment. :-)
@@11Frivole thank you for your explanation. I will give it another try just using the black numbers and forgetting about the half stitches before the picots. Because I am very much in crocheting right now it has to wait a little, if I can hold myself back that is.😀
@@emiliat.5881 No problem you're welcome! His designs are beautiful and well worth figuring out. :-)
Please, do the full work. Even when you put some fast . For beginners like me, is really helpful the full work.
Hi Renata, I'm not sure what you mean by "the full work"... do you mean you'd like to me to not speed along for parts where I repeat things? You'd like me to film everything? I often fast-forward on repeated parts otherwise it would make videos very long!
@@11Frivole I mean I'd like you film everything, even speed along for parts that you repeat the stitches. I have a questions about the medallions: Do I have to make all the 11 medallions first and start the edging from the first medallion and then attach them? I'm really confused about how to get this beautiful join in all medallions and also I find some difficulties to read the original pattern. Thank you very much for this tutorial.
I prefer you show it all. I can always fast forward to next part. I timestamp the different repeats and can easily go back to first, second, etc. I like to be able to slow it down the first couple of attempts to really get the jist of it. Thank you so much for doing these videos. I love to hear you talk and you are so good at tatting, I can just watch you all day. I do have one question, how do you avoid wasting alot of thread that is left on your shuttle when you start your next medallion? What do you do?
Hi Pandora, thank you very much for your nice comment and expressing your preference. I'm still not sure about showing all the repeats on some videos because it can make them very long! But thank you for saying you enjoy seeing everything. About wasting thread... it's a bit unavoidable the first time you make a new pattern but in this case, for example, I made the first medallion with my shuttle full and then saw how much was left so that I had a better idea how much was needed for the subsequent ones. For this medallion, you need a pretty full bobbin, especially as we are working with size 10 which takes up more space.
I wholeheartedly agree!!!! 💕
Очень красиво 🌺🌺🌺 Спасибо большое 🤗
You're welcome! :-)
Дякую за майстер-клас!!!!!Удачі і хорошого дня!!!!!!!
Pls can u send the pattern in pdf. Just as u get in the book.
Thanks for sending the link.
You're welcome! Thank you, a nice day to you too. :-)
Hi, looks like someone already replied to you. :-)
I am new to tatting so i appreciate you repeating your pattern. Sorry what is the purpose of the "magic hoop ?"
Hi Colleen, as you can see demonstrated at the end of the video, magic loops are used to pull your ends in when you complete a design, to save you from having to sew them in.
Beautiful work! Are you using FS/BS tatting?
I can see now that you are not using FS/BS tatting. Is fine, no judgement calls here.
@@maryjoseph81481 Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't but more often than not I tend to go for "traditional" tatting. But to be fair, maybe I should have done for this lovely collar as it's meant to be seen only on one side. :-)
@@jillmclean2176 Just curious why you say it's more correct not to use FS/BS in this pattern? I don't measure picots (unless they really need to be a specific size in some patterns), I really just eyeball them and tend to prefer mine fairly short.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
May I ask, which page is this illustration on?
It's on page 31 of the online version of the book (link in info box below the video).
Gracias por tus videos es hermoso verte tejer. Voy a tratar de hacer este collar contigo. A mi velocidad que es mucho inferior a la tuya
Hola Maria Elena, la velocidad no importa! Lo importante es que disfrutes haciéndolo. :-)
👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Glad you like it. :-)
How much would you sell a collar necklace like this for?
Now that's a very good question Candy! And I don't think I have an answer really. Lace-making is so time-consuming that it would be hard to put a price on it that would pay you a reasonable amount for your time. I sell smaller tatted items like earrings but I've not yet sold larger things like that. I keep them or gift them to loved ones.
