hobbyhouse Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 Thanks to all who've recently welcomed me I have pieced the template for the entire 2nd floor of the house I'm presently working on. I pieced the first and third floors a few days ago. I sanded all three and varnished them so they can dry overnight. If I weren't working in miniature I'd truly have to be Wonder Woman to accomplish that :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treedydi Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Welcome, we have every hobby you listed in common. I haven't met anyone else that has tatted. Most people say "huh?" when I mention that one. My painting and crocheting aren't that great, but, I get by. Hope you have a good time here. I sure do.

I learned to tat on tatting needles so I find tatting shuttles impossible especially clumbersome in my big hands. When you crochet do you use a .5mm hook and quilting thread?

hobbyhouse Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Welcome to the group. Thanks for the welcome jdeer, which one will you finish raising first, Jacob or the Orchid? Seems some people raise kids faster than I can finish a dollhouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Belated welcome to your belated intro, LJ, and thanks for another name than "hobby" to know you by. I taught myself to tat with a shuttle from a very old copy of Workbasket Magazine; I would love to learn needle tatting because then I think I could do it in mini. I crochet with a size 16 steel hook and sewing thread, but in 1:24 scale it looks like rug yarn & a size K hook! And for all y'all who feel bad about late intros, I think I was posting to this "new" version of the GL forum for about a year before realizing I hadn't done one! I also taught myself to knit; all the other needlecrafts I got at least a foundation to grow from, from either my DM (crochet) or my DGM (everything else).

Thanks for the welcome and no I wasn't worried about my 'intro' being a bit late, miniaturists don't stand on formalities and it really is only a hobby for me. For tatting to look true to 1:12th scale you have to do it with Mettler sewing thread and a beading needle :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
