[tatting] 第一次玩梭子蕾絲編織 first time for shuttle tatting

嘿嘿~先用美美的圖把大家騙進來~不過這個真的是我做的喔~^^
Have you been attracted by the photo?   It's my new project!

這種方法叫「梭編」。  This is "shuttle tatting."
算起來我買第一支梭子已經是4年前的事了，當時在書局時看到這本「第一次玩梭子蕾絲編織」(已經絕版了)，覺得還滿有趣的，就買了下來，隨後也在網路上買了一個梭子及一組梭心(5個梭心一組)。但買完後還沒搞懂它，我就淪陷到編織的世界裡。最近在看一位日本織友的部落格時，不經意看到她的梭編作品，哇！超美~於是我又去把我的梭子找出來玩了。大多的時間都是在試鉤，因為在前面兩個作品時，我發現要讓針目均勻、讓環和接耳靠攏真的是不容易，絕對不能貪快。不過手作不就是這樣嗎?要快的話就直接去買，手作的意義就是在享受那個過程呀~
I bought my first shuttle 4 years ago.  I thought it is interesting when I saw this book "first time for shuttle tatting" in book store (it's out-of-print now).  I bought the book right away, and then I order a shuttle and a set of bobbin (5pcs/set).  However I fell in love with knitting before I knew how to do shuttle tatting.  Last week, I was remindered when I was browsing a Japanese knitter's blog, she has so many amazing tatting projects!  Then I pick up my shuttle and started test tatting.  I spent most of time to test since it is really hard to make double stitches even, and make the ring and chain closer.  So do not want to be faster...I think that the meaning of "handmade" is to enjoy the process, it's not a speed compition.

終於在做出了兩個長相詭異的作品後，我做出美美的第三個作品啦~
After the fist 2 weird tatting projects, I get a beautiful project~

說了這麼多，結果還是不知道我說的梭子是什麼嗎?

So...Still don't know what "shuttle" is?

噹噹~就是這個，也就是這幾天又敗的玩意啦~

That's it, the tools I bought these days...

因為有些我想做的作品必須用到兩個梭子，所以就只好再上網買，但又一直猶豫要跟上次一樣買金屬的還是改買塑膠的，最後就是兩種各買一個啦~我都是買這個牌子的梭子，因為價格很划算(一個65元而已；梭心一組也是65元)，而且重點是台灣貨！！！這就是愛台灣啦~~~

Some queued projects have to use 2 shuttles, so I buy it online again.  I hesitated to buy metal or plastic one, then I purchased both of them. I always buy shuttles with this brand becuase of the fair price ( NT65 for metal/ plastic shuttle, and bobbin is also NT65/set).  The most important reason is that it's Made In Taiwan!! I am so proud of Taiwan♥♥♥♥♥


P.S. 我的梭子是在「傑美屋」買的

對了，使用的線也是台製的(NT 20~25)，雖然不是那麼滑順，但對於一個初學者而言我覺得是足夠的(而且省錢)!
By the way, I use the yarn which is made in Taiwan too.  It is not so smooth, but I think it is enough (and economic) for a beginner!
