SUMMARY- This book proves the adage "Where there's a will, there's a way". It won't be fast, but it will be tatting. Trying to do various crafts one-handed had never crossed my mind until I ran into a talented tatting designer who no longer tats because of a partially crippled hand. I admire Helen Chesno and Mrs. Flynn for having the forsight and the determination to work out a method, and then put it forth in a book. Thank you both.
