This isn't my usual type of book but after seeing some fo the amazing things a friend can do with tatting I thought I'd take a look at this one when I came across it. This is a compact book that has a lot of ideas in it. Multiple designs for flowers, butterflies and other shapes and then ideas to combine these to create pictures in thread. Intimidating and inspiring but I'm not sure it's really a beginners book. I'm still peering at the pictures trying to work out how to do it.

Although the illustrations and photos in this book are all black and white, the directions are clear and easy to follow. The author belongs to an internet "ring of tatters" which is promising for keeping the craft alive.
