SUMMARY- You get a brief illustrated crochet and knitting lesson, but not a tatting lesson in this booklet. The edgings are better than just basic "Hens & chicks", and even though the photos are all black-and-white, it's clear they used contrasting colored threads to make several of the edging designs pop. Instructions are in standard written notation and not broken down, but the print is a little larger than usually found in books from this time period. There are no surprises in the designs - all very traditional.
