SUMMARY- This book was recommended to me by my tatting group(Hi, Tri-Tatters!), and I was really pleased to find a copy. Usually when a book has multi-disciplines in it, tatting gets short shrift - not in this case. There is a great variety of patterns, several of which caught my attention. There are good photos, instructions are easy to read(though not broken down entirely) and you get measurements of the completed projects.
