Handy Hands Tatting Book, Green

Always wanted to try Celtic tatting. This book has not disappointed in aiding me to do that.

The first design I tried was full of mistakes - and there are no charts. However the photos were clear enough to finally puzzle out what to do. Example: "connect to the last picot on the previous ring" only that bent the chain around into a circle, clearly different from the picture. Really meant "previous *chain*! And the one tricky point, the one thing 'Celtic' about it, wasn't even mentioned in the directions!! Only an arrow on the photo saying "Note the picot under the picot". Most of the other designs are quite small items too 'busy' visually.

Im just getting back into Tatting. This looks wonderful and difficult though I haven't tried any of them. I know,, not much help.

These are nice patterns. Some of them don't fit my aesthetic but they're not bad! I'm happy.

A good tatting book, good directions and pictures. The only thing I had hoped for was a bit more in the way of examples. It would be nice if there were more elaborate ideas, but all in all it is a good start.

I love the ideas and the book gives me the patterns to try. Love Tatting

Well done , imaging is perfect, explanations clear! Thank you!

Not as expected. This book was on my wish list for the longest time. I LOVE to tat but it didn't offer anything that I haven't already seen on pinterest or instagram. I"m glad I didn't spend much and purchased this with a gift card given to me. There are better references for more intricate tatting patterns than this book.
