Tatting

I'd love to learn how to tatt. All the pieces I've seen look gorgeous. So in order to learn I bought this book from a second hand book store.

And eventually managed to find a tatting shuttle.

Then I tried, I really did...but could only come up with something which I'm pretty sure isn't right. The instructions in the book looked clear until I had a go and ended up in a bit of a tangle.

Nevermind, when I've got a bit more time and patience I'll have another go, and hopefully I'll get the hang of it. I haven't given up yet!
