Look through tat-ology or go to InTatters or even Google for loads of info about where to shop online. Be wary of mailing costs and talk with suppliers. It is so easy yo get tatting stuff but 99% of it will be purchased online.<br /><br />Happy Tatting!

I'm very much a beginner (as in, only a few days old) but already I feel quite addicted. For me it's a needle rather than a shuttle, but either way, I'm extremely inspired by the beautiful work I see people sharing online and I'm determined to get good at it. :-)<br /><br />Do you have any favourite shopping sources for the beautiful threads you use? I'd love to be able to shop Canadian for supplies.<br /><br />Well once again, nice to *meet* you, and happy tatting through our imminent heat wave!<br />CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-19580736193319935572013-06-21T09:39:41.232-04:002013-06-21T09:39:41.232-04:00Your edgings both look wonderful!!! :)

Q...Size 100 silk sound like a real challenge to me! Quilting thread seems so much more manageable, although mistakes are still almost impossible to fix. <br /><br />The Frauberger Crown pattern is beautiful, but I'm not sure I'd have the fortitude to tat a hanky edging. I'm sure you could accomplish it, though!<br /><br />I hope your son is able to find something very interesting for you, and I hope your tatting inspires someone in Peru to join the fun!Lace-lovin' Librarian ~ Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032689683092213368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-20520963259331608522013-06-21T05:49:12.687-04:002013-06-21T05:49:12.687-04:00I'm sorry about your sunny, June day.

I like it to look at alone but when attached, less so. The motif is gorgeous. Size 100 is fun too although it takes forever to get anywhere and I have yet to figure out how to "sew in ends" without breaking the original.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15274345764787048662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-50539895695382091082013-06-21T03:57:44.258-04:002013-06-21T03:57:44.258-04:00Hi Fox

Is your Finca-in-50g-balls perhaps available at a shop which may have a branch there? He would love to buy me some, I'm sure he would - as soon as I let him know about it. And if I offer him another of his favourite hand-knitted jumpers for his birthday. Better still - if he ever wants any MORE hand-knitted jumpers. He is six and a half feet tall, knitting for him is truly a labour of love.<br />I love Finca, but have never seen big balls of it here.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383223698959645624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-64591260925347702612013-06-21T00:41:04.818-04:002013-06-21T00:41:04.818-04:00Here you go : http://tatsaway-patterns.blogspot.co...Here you go : http://tatsaway-patterns.blogspot.com.au/2008/08/row-of-crowns.html<br /><br />Jon's Row of Crown's is similar, but has much cleaner lines, and is a fun pattern to tat.
