This girl does tatting!


Have you ever heard of tatting?
Tatting is a lost art that's in between crochet and Lace making. 
It's usually used for edging on handkerchiefs. Its a form of knotting with thread.
It's made with some crochet thread and a tatting shuttle.



Have you heard of tatting before? 
Always be open to try something new :)

  5. My library had an evening "class" on tatting last year - It was fascinating. I have a shuttle now but I haven't done anything since the one-time class. I'd love to hear more about techniques. You hold yours differently than anyone in the class did.
