Funny isn't it? I taught myself to tat after seeing an elderly man tatting at
a craft show around 45 years ago. I got a shuttle, and a basic book (can't
remember which one, cept it had an orange cover) and taught myself left handed
(shuttle in left, thread in right). I've never had a problem
though even though 4 different right
handed people tried to teach her.
