If you go to *http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtMR_XtTvTk* you will see needle tatting in progress. for shuttle tatting: * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljXBGDVwEIU*. This is just to "show" you the difference. I am self taught tatting (both shuttle and needle) and while probably not more than a beginner after many, many years, i can make a lot of things. i don't have all the newer known tricks under my belt, but this is very easy to carry. the needle is a bit different because it is "longer" which makes a bigger carry-with project.
for instructions, i found a book from the 1950s-1960s which i cannot remember the name of but it is a multi-craft learning guide. the tatting instructions are illustrated and very simple. you get the basic 3 stitches and you can grow from there. with today's technology, you might find youtube videos that will serve. this is ebay and you can see the book i love best for tatting instructions - the top right - but the one to the left of it is also the same but a newer version. * http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-How-To-LEARNING-Books-for-Crochet-Knit-Tat-Embroide r-Weave-/171012901547?pt=US_Nonfiction_Book&hash=item27d129caab * Would love to have you as a part of the tatting neighborhood. happy tatting - it is easy to carry and you always can do it even in a group of chatting.
