What an amazing collection of reference work. Thank you so much for taking the time to pull this together! I only wish I found your board right away I've only been tatting for 3 weeks and have fallen in love with needle tatting. I'm newly disabled and the work is light weight and pulls my mind off my troubles. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol :-) So glad this can be of help - even if in future . I have needle-tatted for a total of 2 days. But this reminds me that I should include those links as well :-)
DeleteTatting soon becomes quite a passion, so I hope it is relaxing & rejuvenating for you always.
Thanks for stopping by & for your kind words.
This is amazing, muskaan!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gina 🌹🌿 It's still lacking so many links, though 😩
DeleteA wonderful resource! Thank you for all the work.
ReplyDeleteThanks and welcome, notewords :-) It's still a WIP
DeleteGreat research work and very useful information. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteWith pleasure, Alka. Hope you make good use of it :-)
DeleteBless you, ma'am! �� I recently picked up tatting as a hobby, but most of the resources available weren't up to date and scattered all over the place. Therefore, I was truly filled with joy after finding such an updated and helpful blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment, Anonymous 💖 Happy tatting! Please do not hesitate to ask if you need specific info because often the same technique has several names 😁
DeleteThank you so much for the reference works.. I left the tatting after reaching certain point as I couldn't understand the patterns.. So I want to start it back as this will help me alot. Thank you so much..
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to TatLand, 'Unknown'😍 If you have any doubts or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me - leave a comment or email me. Happy tatting 💖🌸💖
DeleteTHANK YOU for providing this information!!!
ReplyDeleteMost welcome, Sharon 💖 Wish I could spend some time updating this further.
DeleteWONDERFUL RESOURCES!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!💕
ReplyDeleteWelcome 💕
DeleteUn tout grand merci pour toutes ces informations.
ReplyDeleteMichelle Forclaz.
Most welcome, Michelle. Hope you make good use of it. There's lots more to add since the resources keep growing 💕
DeleteHi. I only went through the 1. Section of links but more than half of them don't even work. Among the ones that work, some of them go to login only pages with no other info or invite only pages. It's pretty frustrating for someone trying to learn an art (for years) that's dying largely because of the confusion for new tatters and lack of information available on it... And, thus, a new tatter's penchant to give up.
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous. I just went through Section 1 - Tatting & Stitches (the first 3 'paras') and found only a couple that were not working, and have updated them.
DeleteThere are several factors with outside links beyond our control but there are still ways to find the page/blog if you are willing to take the time.
Also, the device and/or browser through which you try to access can be incompatible and cause such error notices.
I wish you were more specific in your comment so that I could try to fix links better. I do thank you for pointing it out and will try to update as and when I find time.
Tatting is not a dying art - please stop saying that. And there are tons of old and new resources continuously being shared online. Have a positive frame pf mind and you will find it all.
Happy tatting and feel free to ask anytime.
Hi Muskaan.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to register on craftree, but every time I get an "oops something went wrong" message. I've used several different browsers and devices, without luck. I also messaged them via their contact form, but no answer has come.
Is there another way of contacting them/becomming a member
Craftree had been down for at least a month, but is up and running again. Try once again and hopefully it will work. It is also possible that due to this huge fiasco, they are a bit tied up and may take some time answering you. Kersti is on FB, but didn't respond when I left a comment about Craftree. So all I can say is try once again. All the best 🌿🌺🌿
DeleteYes it works now. Thank you for your information.
DeleteMost welcome, Freubelkist, and welcome to Craftree, too. 💕
