I hope people still enjoy reading blogs?... Or are they now "passé"? What is your favourite platform to view craft content?
I recently made a new video on how to tat these easy d*i*amond earrings (I'm adding the asterisks because last time I posted about such earrings a few years ago, I got so many spam comments!), you can view it here. Making the video caused me to tat a few more pairs so here they are. Two of the pairs will be gifted to friends.
They don't take long to make and the pattern is super simple to remember:
R3-3-3-3, rw
C7, rw
*R3+3-3-3, rw
C7, repeat from *
There are slight variations in each:
The green pair is joined at the first and last picots of each rings (as per the pattern),
whereas the grey and the black pairs are joined at the second,
and penultimate picots of each ring.
The grey pair has beads at the tips.
The black pair has beads at all the joins
(not very visible as they are black on black).
I shall make another pair with a more contrasting bead on the joins.
I stiffen those earrings with a bit of diluted PVA glue so they keep their shape when worn.
Do you have favourite earring pattern, one that you go back to again and again? Please let me know!
Best wishes,
Frivole
