Dear Donna, 
     It seems like we are carrying the echo all by ourselves today. 
        Yes, i would still like to learn to needle tat, but would you 
feel hurt if i say i need a real live in my presence angel on my 
shoulder?  I have in the past done shuttle tatting.  The frustrating 
thing about it, is that if you are a crocheter, it double crosses you. 
Just when you need to pull in crocheting, you need to release in 
tatting. Also of course, you can't take out a mistake in shuttle 
tatting.  You can only start over.  
    Yes, too decided to learn using knitcrosheen and a huge needle.  I 
was using a piece cut from the ball. 
              Shalom  [again],    ll
