The Hittys’ cats are delighted with Mormor’s new toy…

Yeah, Mormor! Your work is lovely. I’m so glad you’ve shared your new toy and it’s beautiful outcome with us. It’s a dear past time for the season we find ourselves in.
The cats agree! Mormor is glad to be practising this skill as she sits and rocks…it keeps her hands and mind busy, and results in pretty lace!
Tatting is one thing I just can’t get my head around, despite lessons from the Husband’s cousin, who’s a demon tatter and wins awards and ribbons for her work. It’s just too tiny….
A person can’t do everything after all! Tatting is a fiddly pastime, but like other things, once you get the hang of it, it does make sense, and the muscle memory takes over. Well done Husband’s cousin! Mormor dreams of making pieces worthy of such admiration!
Tatting is one of my most favorite things in the world. I never go out without my tatting in my pocket 🙂 I also love making tatting shuttles It delights me to see Mormor tatting!
Mormor says tack så mycket! She carries her tatting in her handbag (though she wishes I had made her a skirt with pockets)
that is an amazing little tatting shuttle!! And Mormor is so talented. Will she be trimming some Hitty clothing with her output?
I expect the Hens and chicks will go on some article of clothing!
I can’t wrap my mind around the fact that you can make ( what looks to me like exquisite lace) you have sooooo many talents. But as I read the comments and see others can do this do, just shocks me to no end.
how beautifully delicate
I am hoping Mormor might be able to teach me this skill 😛
