I agree completely with Aurelia, Chris! At the IOLI in Denver, there were several favors at each place at the lunches and the banquet, as well as in our (bulging) "goodie bag" (in actuality, a wonderfully useful tote bag). As it happened, I had one piece of bobbin lace and several pieces of tatted lace in the luck of my draw. And considering the projects involved, I'm sure that the tatting took every bit as long to make as the bobbin lace. Since I know enough about tatting to make a big mess, I admire examples of tatting, and have put my pretty tatted "fan" on my bulletin board by this computer, so I see it every day. I have every intention of learning more about tatting "one of these days" - because it IS pretty, and because I consider its portability a huge plus.
