This is as far as I've gotten on this vintage pattern. The way it reads, it sounds like I do stitches OVER the thread between rings but I don't see the point of doing that when I can make chains. I started this on a lunch hour and just wanted to see how the large and small rings fit together, so now I'll do it over using chains instead of a length of thread.

I've been catching up with other stuff lately. Will be gone most of today but hope to be tatting tonight.
