This homepage is not so much about me as it is about what I do. Tatting is a lace that is made by hand using a shuttle or needle to form knots. The knots, in turn, form rings and chains. It is at one and the same time both a very simple and a very complex art with many variations. Many patterns can be completed by those who have just learned to tat, while other patterns are very complicated and require a very skilled tatter who knows the more advanced techniques.
Tatting is, for some people, quite easy to learn.
Others can find it very difficult. I am not going to give basic instructions here because others have covered this subject better than I could. If you are interested in learning to tat, or have tried and just couldn't get the hang of it, I encourage you to have a look at these links . I'll be adding more as I find sites I really like. As I mentioned above, I edit a tatting newsletter for a tatting group here in Canada.
