(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Contrary to popular belief, many people around the world still participate in the art of tatting and the craft is experiencing a resurgence in interest around the world.
It is believed that tatting may have developed from netting as sailors and fishers would put together motifs for girlfriends and wives at home.
In modern times, in addition to shuttle tatting, a long, thin needle can be used as an alternative method to form the double-hitch knots used in tatting.
Tatting instructions and patterns can be found all over the web, including some streamlined video instructions
