That was a big help. I do keep having issues with the second half of the stitch and my "fling", but I'm getting better. I'm looking for some easy patterns now. When I tatted way back then, I just did the edging, but I'm anxious to give patterns a try. Thanks again! Gina, thanks for the mention of keeping the knot on top. That was a big help.

Well, that "FLING" thing you're doing is actually relaxing the tension on the left hand by putting your fingers down and thus loosening the thread around your hand. You also have to pull with your right hand and that flips that loop upward so that it will slide. Remember the saying about jars and things that are screwed - lefty loosey, righty tighty! As the others have said, go check out the online tutorials. It'll come back to you easily! LOL!

If you've mastered it before, it will come back to you. I love to bring tatting in the car (when I am a passenger!!), great way to pass the time on trips. Good luck with the tatting!
