Hello Gail,
GC>I know very little about needle weaving but I did take a short course on
bob
GC>tatting. I've been doing a little just to keep from forgetting everything
I'
GC>learned. I find it very slow to get any amount of tatting done, so
atience
GC>definintely needed for this craft.
I am glad to see someone else interested besides me. I do so want to
learn . they are having a class here in early february. so maybe?
GC>Dee Stark also tats some. I haven't heard from Dee in a long time so
I'm not GC>sure she is even on the echos.
I haven't heard anything from her in a while.
GC>I have a couple of excellent tatting books thanks to Susan Barrington.
GC>The complete book of tatting by Rebecca Jones. It is really good. It has
all
GC>the directions and pictures for how to do all the types of knots. Then has
a
GC>series of projects from making lace to dollies to wearables.
GC>A New Twist on Tatting, more than 100 glorious designs by Catherine
ustin.
GC>This is full of beautiful handcrafted items. It too has a few pages on
basic
GC>tatting stitches with pictures.
Well now I know whom to come to for help!!!!Thanks ahead of time!
GC>If you get a chance to take a class, do! Getting a "handle" on how to turn
t
GC>thread to make the knot is very tricky.
Like I said I definately will be taking some sort of class.
Happy stitching to you
