A long time ago - about five years - I joined Circle of Crafters, I do not remember how I found them but they were a small group and we all quickly became friends. The site was hacked and was then changed to another company but the basic people remained along with a host of new members, some like me found it rather large now.
Among the original members was a girl who did tatting.
She produced some wonderful work and it was fascinating to see, although she insisted it was very easy.
Her work was similar to this.
Off I went and bought a kit and tried it out................ forgot I was lefthanded and instructions are usually for righthanded people!!!
After some months I gave up struggling and managed to contact a group here in Birmingham,
arranging to meet up with a member in the Main Library. They were a nice couple and he showed me how to tatt, I tried it
and eventually managed to do a bit so everyone was happy.
When I came home I picked up my work to continue but do you think I could remember how to do it? No way! I struggled and struggled and in the end gave up.
I have now found this fantastic site - Tatted Treasures - which I wish had seen then ................
too late now as my shuttle went to the charity shop along with the books and threads.......
but then again ...........
