Tatting a way to make Knotty Beauty without getting in a Mess.

I like collecting tatting shuttles all shapes and sizes. Take a
look at my avatar to see what I have collected.

Tatting for me started at about the age of 12 with a tatting book from the 70's. I did not have
any one to teach me, so I am self taught.

Today's tatting is nothing like the past tatting of dollies and runners. People tat all kinds of
jewelery with beads and gemstones.

You can even tat metal threads as well as cotton, silk, linen or hemp.

There are many types of shuttles in all different sizes. I like to shuttle tat, but a lot of people
prefer to needle tat. Has the same result.

I like all my knots to look the same with a right and a wrong size to my work.

There is always more to learn as everyone shares new ideas on the internet.

I hope people can enjoy wearing my jewelery as much as I enjoy making it.
