I just joined this group - here's my obligatory "Hi, I'm here" post! I haven't been tatting for long - just a few months - and I admit I don't know much, but what better place to learn than here? Perhaps I'd know more about tatting if I didn't spend so much time online.... but anyways, I'm here!

Heh. Several of my in-laws are in the Houston area. Hubs & I have been out once to visit, but I have no idea where I was most of the time. :) May have to send the MIL or SIL to Nancy's Knits. Hey, they're always wondering what to get me for Yule, etc.!

Oooo.... She's young & has good taste in music! Now, how d'you feel about Rick Springfield?? If you like his old Working Class Dog & Living in Oz stuff, you should know that his new CD is coming out next month: s/d/a/a official site

The only Rick Springfield album I have is "Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet" - I have every intention of buying more of his albums, but the holidays have left me low on time, cash, and motivation. And then there's the pesky school reading assignments... grumblemuttergrumble. I know that Hawkeye's father nicknamed him that after a character from the book, but why read the book when I can watch the show? I started watching to find out which way he knits, and bless smurf I'm going to keep watching it!

When not working on the other star-spangled snowflake, today I've been doing a butterfly (http://www.geocities.com/birgit_ph/butterflypage.html) - mostly to finish up the pink thread I have on one shuttle. It's suprised me how many flutterbye patterns exist!

LOL, I'm very familiar with the "no money, no time" song & dance. Personally, when given the choice between book or show, I'll usually pick the book. There's almost always more in the book.

And yes, I think butterflies, snowflakes, & crosses are probably the most popular patterns out there. :)

That's an adorable user picture!

I guess I dragged that gag along a bit too far. *g* I was referring to both "The Last of the Mohicans" and "M*A*S*H*"; there's a reason my brother often calls my rodent persona a dense little chipmunk! (But I'm a chinchilla....)

I'm about to embark into the world of split rings... maybe. I've got a couple of shuttles with varigated thread to practice on in front of me, and three different instruction pages open. *wishes self luck*
