Tatting is a form of knotted lace that dates back at least 100 to 150 years. It can be done with a needle or a shuttle.

This site has excellent directions on how to tat with a shuttle; they are probably the best I've ever seen.

This site has videos.

Some good places I've bought from are Lacis, Handy Hands, and DS9Designs.

Most of the following links are Celtic Tatting.

If you google tatting or free tatting pattern you will get a lot of hits. Many tatters are very generous, and share their patterns on the web.

I don't tat very much, or very well, but I'd like to get better. Maybe I'll bring some along on my November trip; at least I won't have to argue about whether or not needles are allowed on the plane.
