A tragedy of epic proportions occurred last night--I broke the tatting needled that I use for size 20 thread!!! I don't have a spare and live about 2 hours from the nearest store that sells them. I don't have plans to be that way for another 2 weeks.
I can still needle tat with size 10 thread and I have been hoping to get some more shuttle practice in. So I might just wait 2 weeks to get one....a rough 2 weeks!!
Just wanted to share with those that would understand.
Oh no! I'm sorry for you. Right now I'd be crushed if I didn't have what I needed for tatting!
ReplyDeleteACK! *gasp* The sudden loss of tatting tools always comes as a terrible shock. Let us know if the withdrawal pangs get to be too much!
ReplyDeleteBoo. I understand. Maybe you can get to work designing something fabulous . . .
ReplyDeleteSo sad. Maybe this is just the impetus you needed to get on with the shuttle practice. ;) Hmm, you can probably get them by mail order in less than 2 weeks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sympathy!! I'm trying to use the time to practice shuttle tatting, but if it gets to be too much mail order it is :)
ReplyDeleteOh, yes... I throw them out; you break them. Tools of the trade... what do we do in the meanwhile? *sob*
