Tatting

Photo: a piece of Tatting - the photo makes it look a bit wonky - but it's genuine!

Tatting came into my life in 2001 before we left for a time overseas - I had 2 hours to learn the basics and went to the class full of expectation that by the end of the time, I would be well on my way - and I was! It was only later that I learnt that most people take hours, days, weeks and some even months to learn the tricks of the trade - but after 45 minutes, I was on my way. I never did reach any dizzy heights with Tatting but still dabble with it - 8 years on - and still enjoy it - in between other interests and hobbies - most of which revolve around various threads and fabrics.
