I like to bring small crafts on a trip, so I guess on this 'vacation' I'll be learning tatting. I know the very basics of using shuttles, but needles? I don't know what those are for. I picked them up anyway. Might be used in the same technique or another one. I guess I'll know when I get some time to work with it.
Anyone else know tatting? I tried to get someone to show me, but it's a dying art and I can't find anyone that knows it.
It's important to keep the old skills alive. They contain and display our history.

Hi there! I feel that I should correct your statement about tatting. It is not a dying art. In fact it is thriving and is enjoyed by many people around the world. For starters, take a browse through this blog and see what the tatting community are doing,

I agree with on the importance of keeping the old skills alive. I think tatters are working very hard to do just that.
