New blog

Thought I might start a Tatting blog.

Here is a picture of some of my tatting.

I discovered Tatting when looking for trimmming suitable for Victorian and Edwardian costume so I have been focussing on trimmings.  This piece is now long enough to reach from fingertip to fingertip with my arms outstretched - now need to make something to use it on! 

I've got a bit distracted by variegated thread. I'll have to go back to plain white or ecru to make period trimmings but for the time being while I'm working on keeping things consistent from one end to the other I'm going to have fun with variegated thread :)

I started tatting in late September so that's just over 2 months now.
