Just finished the first round of another motif in Susanne Schwenke's book, Spintzen-Jdeen. It's on page 32 if you have the book - but the first 2 rounds are actually the motif on the previous page. Now the fun part is .......self-closing mock rings and rings thrown off of those rings. I've done the scmr but hadn't thrown a ring off of one before...........so I started over 3 times before I got it!

Want to know how to do them? Go here. This is the home page of Randy & Gary Houtz, tatting brothers extraordinaire, with instructions and photos of the self closing mock ring and how to do rings off of those.
