Something new I tried before Christmas. I like to work with needles and yarn, thread, ribbons, so frivolite or tatting in general, needle tatting in particular was a lot of fun for me and something I quickly got the hang of. i do not think I am going to try shuttle tatting, needle tatting is plenty exciting and quite versatile for me.
