Tatting is the art of making lace by knotting the working thread around the base thread. Traditionally a shuttle was used to hold the thread, but there is also a method of tatting using a needle. Tatting was popular a century ago, but didn't seem to gather the same following as crochet or knitting. Nowadays, there seems to be a resurgence of tatters. There are many tatters online, and at least two active mailing lists devoted to tatting. There are many new techniques being developed, expanding tatting's versitality.

There are many on-line resources about tatting. I will be working on a page of links.

See some tatting samples.
