About Me:: I've never heard of tatting before, but after finishing my first cross-stitch this year, i discovered my love thread--especially hand dyed!!! :) I have been a scrapbooker and paper crafter for over 11 years, but am venturing into all new types of crafty mediums this year.

One tin is to hold a couple shuttles (loaded) and another one to hold a thread cutter, picot gauge, and some fray-chek. If I want to wild & crazy, I add a third container to hold beads.

If I need something more, like extra threads, more beads, bead threader, jewelry tools, etc, then I can fit it all into a child's lunchbox. In fact, that's what I do carry.

People who needle tat have said that the needle method works well for yarn. You'd need a yarn that was smooth, so the double stitches would be able to slide.
My picture 17 is my own HDT (hand dyed thread) "Rhubarb Pie". It's a 6 cord (cordonnet) crochet cotton. I offer my HDT in my Etsy shop, just click on the link on my page if you are curious to see what is there.

I look forward to when you share photos of your work. You are going to share, aren't you? *big puppy eyes of pleading*
