scrapbook

I've started keeping a tatting scrapbook of the short bits of edgings that I've tried out.

The tatting at the bottom is even worse in real life - sewing it to the paper has helped hold it in shape.  The second from bottom is tricky as well. Don't think I'll be using either of them in earnest for a while unless someone has a cunning way to change the pattern to make it easier to do.
Most of them are from "My book No 3" Tatting Craft by Anna Valerie. It's an edwardian book that you can find online for free since its out of copyright, but its also part of the "Tatting - designs from Victorian lace craft" which I bought since its hard using the pdf versions on my notebook.
