Tatting is a very old hand craft - a cross between crochet and lace it is worked with a shuttle not a hook or bobbin.
Many attractive articles can be worked such as edgings motifs, collars, greetings cards, mats, doilies, pictures, and jewellery. Tatting Groups have formed throughout the United Kingdom and also worldwide. Tatters also have a guild - The Ring of Tatters - who issue a very informative magazine twice a year.
