I did learn to tat as a child, probably the best time really and that was from my grandmother. It was my grandmother and sister who learnt together, but our mother never took up the craft. Know what you mean about those drawings, they certainly are not very clear when you are starting out. 25 years is still a long time though for I must have had a break of 20 years or so when living abroad and tatting was far from my mind!Sally Kersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689082516157330679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-49077030383576206252014-05-08T19:36:43.212+01:002014-05-08T19:36:43.212+01:00That's a lot of tatting, when you're not c...That's a lot of tatting, when you're not comfortable with the thread! You could easily stop here and call it finished, as it looks fine as it is. I'm amazed at all the thread manufacturers. Does Twilleys still make thread? <br /><br />That's a glorious assortment of shuttles and woods! Fantastic workmanship! I also could have been in that 'learned to tat 50 years ago' club if only I could have figured out those instructions in the Learn How Book, but even in magazines over the years (where tatting was rarely featured), I still couldn't understand what was happening with the drawings! I'm amazed I even learned in 1989, 25 years ago!
