Tatting is enjoying a comeback. 

With handmade crafts becoming more popular

more people are wanting to learn to tat.

Once you have learnt the basics

you can use your skills to make everything from jewellery to bookmarks.

This book is written to help novice tatters progress from the simplest of edgings

through to more complex projects such as bookmarks & heirloom mats.

The book has pictures and instructions to teach you how

to make the knot, how to use the shuttle to joining.

As a beginner tatter I think I'll wait till I've learnt a little more

before I start making the designs in this book.

The book contains some amazing designs

and gives you the tools so you can make your own items

using the different techniques.

I love the fact the book is ring-bound so you can

keep the book open on which ever project you are working on.

There are tips throughout the book to help you.

Each project has a chart to explain where you start and which stitches

you move onto.

Each project includes the pattern so you can use the skills

you are learning to make these

beautiful items.

If you are a tatter and looking to expand your knowledge

and techniques then this will be a book

you'll want to turn to.

I received a copy of the book to review.

However all opinions expressed are my own.

No monies were received for this post.
