Needle Tatting: Catherine Wheel Join

This is how I do Catherine Wheel joins when needle tatting. It's a two-needle technique. I like to call it the Sewn Technique, because it feels like I'm sewing the join into place. Catherine Wheel joins are a great way to outline a piece of tatting with one continuous chain, which makes a smooth line, rather than the scalloped edge a border of standard chains & joins would create.

Featuring a special appearance by Tali, my adventurous 3 1/2 year old Maine Coon cat.

Sample piece shown at the beginning of the video was made following Jane Eborall's TIAS (Tat It & See) pattern, worked up through day 4. http://tatitandsee.blogspot.com/2013/...

Pieces created using size 10 crochet cotton.

No animals or crafts were harmed in the making of this video.
