Tatting a Split Ring

Lillian and I were chatting about tatting and wanting to see how we each tat so I decided to make a home video of me tatting a split ring. If your curious here's my video!
I did click the shuttle by passing the thread through the tip of the shuttle as I made each half of the stitches on this video, but I've learned since that it's best not to do that! LOL

Cool! That's how I dod it too. Do either of you do the method where you take it off your hand and flip the ring over, completing the second half in the same direction as the first half? I'm not good at demonstrating that one...would love to see a video for it..

Hmmm that sounds interesting! I've never heard of that but then I'm pretty new to tatting!

I really enjoyed your video. It is so great to see someone else do things the way I do! I've watched a couple of videos lately that made me think I had everything backwards! I've never heard of taking the ring off and turning it over, but sounds interesting.

Brilliant video - I have always taken the ring off and turned it, but this is a much quicker way of doing it. Thank you for sharing. Doreen in sunny Somerset U.K.
