SUMMARY- Imagine my delight and surprise when this showed up in the mail along with my Fall Newsletter #91!!! This is the first time I've been a member when one of their anniversary books was published. We lost a lot of members during the Covid epidemic, and our numbers haven't risen back up yet. It's only been a few years, so I hope they do. Ring of Tatters provides so much to its membership. I didn't put which issue of the newsletter each pattern came from in the ToC, and my catalog, as of this writing, only goes back to Issue #46, but rest assured all patterns are reprints from these very rare issues. I was particularly enchanted by the 3D Dragon and the clever Father Christmas Earrings. They did a fantastic job - all patterns have a diagram, and the symbolic notation is well broken down and easy to read. The book will lie flat because of the ring binding they chose and it's all on good quality paper so the print is crisp and will last. If you aren't a member, please consider becoming one. Two newsletters you'll want to read cover to cover are published each year - and they are willing to ship overseas! I've gotten a lot of enjoyment from the newsletters and the quality of patterns they've published in them over the years. They publish only original designs, and you can see from the line-up of names that they've had a very illustrious membership over the years. There, duty done - I'm off to tat myself a dragon!
