"You make it real....."
It is represent to all guest of Craft Cottage and me. It has almost same effect as "You can do it!". But for me "You make it real..." bring the meaning of Dream Come True, it give me more courage and patience to achieve goal.

Here's the URL of the image above. [link]

Did anyone have heard of tatting before?
I'm only knew the existence of tatting at about............. May 2009.
Yup, it is this year, the year of 2009!

The flower-like things in the image above are made by the technique of tatting.
Commonly, there 2 type of tatting,
a) needle tatting, using tatting needle, a long, blunt needle that does not change thickness at the eye of the needle
b) shuttle tatting, using tatting shuttle, a shuttle with a hook at one end.

Actually tatting is one of the technique for making some of lace which is made by a series of knots and loops....
For information feel free to see more detail information of tatting at Wikipedia.

There are many knowledge with tatting.
I've find many information about the tutorial of needle tatting
and shuttle tatting, and I'm only could figured out its concept. And I made the tatting by using hands with a little help of a normal needle and a crochet hook, because I did not have neither the tatting shutter and the tatting needle.

I'll try make some post about the technique of tatting. For both needle tatting and shuttle tatting. Maybe give some link to those website which have more information about tatting.

If possible, I'll make tutorial about tatting. In my way.....

*Though my ways for tatting maybe more easier for those who did not have the the shuttle and the tatting needle, but my way may harm your hands if make it using too much strength. So be sure becareful if you want to make tatting in my ways.....
