5 out of 5 starsI'm a total tatting newbie and this pattern is well written, has a lot of pictures, and when I had a question the seller responded right away and was really nice about my total newbie questions. Excited to give the finished item to my friend in an art exchange!

5 out of 5 starssimply beautiful work. The thread used for this is finer than that used on the other two pieces I purchased giving this piece a daintier look. Its hanging length is aprox 1.25 inches and at its widest area is 1.5 inches. It hangs from the tip of the triangle though it would be easy to move the jump ring so it hangs from the center. It came on a black ribbon. I've done tatting so know the work that goes into it and I found the prices were reasonable for the intricacies of the pieces I purchased.

5 out of 5 starssimply beautiful work. I have very large wrists and this wont fit mine, but I plan to put this on a hand sculpture for display so that didn't matter to me. including the clasp, the wrist area measured about 6 inches. I've done tatting myself so know the work that goes into it and the prices were reasonable for the intricacies of the pieces I bought.

5 out of 5 starsI forgot this was a needle tatting pattern when I bought it, but it does work up pretty easily with a shuttle. It's easy to follow and makes a beautiful finished product.

Tatting is not a lost art, I found it
I wish that I had a wonderful story about how I learned tatting at the knee of my grandmother, or discovered a lost family relic and chose to learn this lost art to resurrect it from the darkness. The truth is much more mundane. I was bored with knitting, crochet and sewing. I wanted to find something new to do with my hands and I found tatting. I didn't know what it was, but I knew I had to learn how to do it. With the help of a single book and the internet, I taught myself. Then I got immediately bored with doilies, bookmarks and edgings and put it away. It wasn't until a bookmark I had made was mistaken for a bracelet that the stars aligned and I started designing.
Tatting is my meditation, my artistic outlet and the thing that keeps my hands busy much of the day. This shop is not only my job, but my excuse to keep creating and stretching my skills, to expose tatting to every corner that I can. Tatting is not a lost art. I found it and now so have you.
