'Where have all the tatters gone!?' I have had to admit that I am not technically savvy but I have been wondering recently about how to get in touch with tatters. It used to be that most everyone with internet service 'hung out' on the listserver like Arachne, HBTatters, etc. Someone recently mentioned 'that listservers were a thing of the past'. Since then I have been realizing that they are right. It used to be that there were alot of wonderful threads of discussion going all the time about tatting on the listservers....now it seems dead. In the mean time, Blogs/Blogging has come into being. As someone who works and spend her available spare time designing tatting, tatting up the pieces and then writing books with the patterns I really haven't had time to read/follow blogs. Now I realize that the whole social network thing is totally outside my understanding. (I'm still trying to figure out FaceBook, never mind Pinturest!). I joined several Yahoo Groups but the traffic and number of participants is so small that I never get appreciable answers/suggestions to my enquiries. So, my big questions are: Where are tatters socializing/sharing ideas? or is the better question 'How' to get into contact with tatters. Do most tatters spend their time reading blogs instead of connecting other ways? I have spent time writing a blog and giving away patterns and techniques but am wondering if anyone is reading it. It seems like I need to find a way to market my blog so that my time is well spent. All in all it seems to be a circular activitiy. Any ideas as to 'Where have all the Tatters Gone?' ( can't you hear the music!)???? Karen Bovard The ShuttleSmith Omaha, Nebraska www.TheShuttleSmith.com
