Bracelet in progress and tatting in the news

This bracelet is not finished yet, but here's a peek at it in progress. I plan on adding a 2nd row to stabilize it so that it won't stretch out of shape when worn.

A happy surprise was in my email this morning - I've been featured in Funky Finds! Click here to read the article.

The number of students in my Shuttle Tatting course has been growing by an alarming rate (it reached 1000 in only 2 weeks), so hoping that means there will soon be many new tatters!

    Lovely bracelet,
    Congratulations on so many tatters taking up you course, I have not had a lot of time over the last week but I have enjoyed watching some of it, and you have taught an old girl one thing already I never knew 25 wines of the shuttle equalled one yard, I will be trying out the patterns when I finish my project

    Thank you for doing a very interesting course
    Margaret

    1000 students, oh, my, this is going to make responding to their questions and work very time consuming.
    How will this work? Good luck.

    Thanks so much. I wasn't sure if it was appropriate to post the 1000 student milestone, but it seems encouraging for the future of tatting as a craft to show that people are indeed interested.

    So far the questions have been manageable. I'm hoping more established tatters will post their work on Craftsy, so that more people will see the amazing tatting that is being done these days. Some people seem to assume that it's all about me, but I'm only the facilitator, by offering a course there. Tatting just has to be on that site, because Craftsy really IS the fastest growing craft community on the web. We can get tatting in front of a LOT of people there!!!
