Hi There!

Hi!
I've been tatting for a couple years on and off.

I'm in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronisms [www.sca.org]) and learned from an SCA friend of mine. It's a craft that is being passed around even though it is debateable whether it is historically accurate for the SCA time periods.

I've recently been getting back into the crafts that I did as a teenager and I'm adding the tatting to that.

I would consider myself an advanced beginner. I know how to do a lot, but because of the way I was taught, I don't know a lot of the terminology for it.

I'm a shuttle tatter, and I tend to stick with size 10-20 thread, though I did manage to pick up size 50 thread (actual tatting size I believe) at an SCA event and it is amazing to use, so teeny tiny.

Currently I'm just practicing and getting re-used to the rythyms. Starting and stopping projects without ever completing much. I'm hoping to finish the traditional tatted cross this time though.

I'm glad to find this community! *cheer*

'Allo!

Wow!! So, I don't have to start one of these myself!! Yippee!! I've been shuttle tatting (consistently) for about 2 & 1/2 years now. Learned about 3-4 years before that, but couldn't find any patterns back then.

I work at a historic house museum (target date is 1888), so now I've got patterns coming out of my ears. ;) Now, if only I had a working scanner here, or could take these things to hubby's office..... *sigh* I would so love to share all of these with you. Maybe one of these days...

Meanwhile -- HI! I'll go back & read through the community later this evening & see if I can contribute anything more than a hello. Anybody here a member of the email lists? I know of at least one very active on Yahoo, 2 on Smartgroups, & one other... On Lacemakers.org, I think.

Hello!

Figured I'd do an obligatory "here I am" post. I used to be pretty active on some of the online tatting lists, but have sort of slacked off on that lately. Been spending much more time knitting than tatting of late, but I hope to get back to having time to do both before long. I have a few patterns I wrote (including the heart in my user icon there) available on-line here. And a few more I've written up but haven't managed to type out yet. Gotta get those done.
