Needle Tatting

My First sample using Aunt Lydia's Violet Crochet thread.

Recently while looking around the needlework section at my local hobby lobby I discovered Tatting. They had a couple of books so I decided to buy them and give it a try. There are two different types: needle and shuttle. Looking around online it seems that most people tat with shuttles but I leaned how to to do needle tatting first. I learned by using the book Learn Needle Tatting Step-by-Step by Barbara Foster and it already came with the needles! I also bought the book Embellishing with Edgings by Handy Hands Inc. This book has 15 Edgings that you can shuttle or needle tat. I decided to make a sample size one to see how it came out using the needles.
