One of the challenges I have is presenting a 3 dimensional object as a flat diagram that people will be able to follow. What I have so far (which, naturally, I can't show yet!) will work well, I think.
I have accepted the fact that I must write it up for without beads, and with beads. If I left either version out, there'd undoubtedly be some disappointment.
Just so you know, there are a LOT of split rings. Be careful what you wish for!
This'll take a while.
It definitely looks like a lot of work to write up the pattern. Hmm, 3D modelling would really come in handy here, though it is more difficult to print out...
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will have it just right! :) I think it would be awful difficult to diagram a 3 dimensional item!!
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you the task of diagramming a 3D pattern!
ReplyDeleteI often resort to stepwise pics where a diagram is too difficult or confusing.
I'm sure it will work out great, whatever you do. Your pattern writing is always clear and detailed.
You lost me at split rings, but I bet Denise will tat a ton of these!
ReplyDeleteI hope we can arrange a Tollway Tatters meeting soon. This winter has been incredibly busy, and I miss my tatting buddies!
I look forward to seeing your pattern, diagrams are not easy at the best of times and a 3D that's hard to do
