Tatting Collage

Tatting is basically a handmade lace, with each stitch composed of two half-hitch knots. The appeal of the craft is that it is simple and portable, you can take your tatting equipment anywhere, and now that Tatting Collage is republished as a concealed spiral-bound book, it will be easy to use 'on-the-go'. As well as offering great fun and flexibility, it also avoids the need to handle large and complicated pieces of tatting - a bonus if you are pressed for time or are new to the craft and looking for encouragement.
