This is a little cross I designed, consisting mainly of Split rings, hence the name. It measures just 2 inches long, worked in Flora 20
If you are good at split rings, it is quite quick to tat. If you are not, it is a very good way to practice them.
A bit of my history!

Hi Wendy. Saw your comment on the tatting digest so had to check out your split cross. Very nice. I live in the US (Hawaii). Read your profile and see that we even like some of the same books. Great to meet you. Also really liked your multi color (red & white) snowflake. I have to figure out how to create a blog to share some of my things. I am andicat.hawaii on the tatting digest. See you there - or here! Andrea
ReplyDeleteI can picture this with a ribbon woven through the horizontal rings down the middle--a good way to use it as a bookmark?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comments
ReplyDeleteI can see this working , Martha, you could put a picot at the top and hang it as well.
ReplyDeleteyes it is a very nice cross to hang or use as a book mark
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work.
