Interweave Press-New Tatting. Tatting is a means of creating lace by looping threads together using tiny shuttles and one's fingers (with occasional help from a crochet hook). It creates dainty chains and edgings as well as single motifs and is used as edging and decoration for textiles and clothing, as jewelry, or as large- scale lace projects in itself. This book offers step by step photos and beautiful projects. Author: Tomoko Morimoto. Softcover, 128 pages. Published Year: 2012. ISBN 978-1-59668-745-5. Imported.
