Hi everyone I taught myself tatting years ago, from a library book and a piece of string. Seeing the knot transfer in a large 'format' gave me the confidence to work with shuttle and thread. Maybe the string idea will work for someone else, too.
I then made quite a few pieces by following a photograph of the item, rather than written instructions. But that was then. Tatting is something I cannot do any more. There is something between brain and fingers that simply makes me dislike doing it, akin to being forced to write with the non-dominant hand. Now 'all' I can do is bobbin lace. And appreciate the tatting that others do so well ;) -- Bev (near Sooke, BC on beautiful Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
