A bit of history!!!
Back in the 70's I used to belong to a newsletter group here in the UK. They were my only way into the world of tatting outside of the UK. Although it was a fairly good source of patterns it also ran some interesting adverts too for shuttles and books. There was no such thing as needle tatting back before that time.
I saw a book advertised (selling in America) for needle tatting. It was by Ed and Selma Morin. I bought a copy and had a 'go'.
This was made using double knitting yarn. I'll show you another of my needle tatting pieces another day but you WON'T like it!!!!
Good for you for giving it a go, a jolly good go, I love your picture.
