Tatted Greetings

Learn Needle Tatting by Barbara Foster is available at handyhands.com It offers a kit with the needle and threader plus the book. I taught myself in a hotel room after buying the supplies (size 10 thread is what to start with, the kind that's used for crocheting. It took me less than 2 hours to learn the very easy technique which is actually "knit and purl" on a needle with some variations which are very easy to learn. I have shuttles but this method of tatting is so easy and you can undo your mistakes without having to start all over on a project (can't do that with a shuttle). It is an inexpensive craft that will give you oodles of projects to keep you busy all winter long! Well, I do it all year long ~ haha!
