April 1st is International Tatting Day

According to Wikipedia, you can use tatting needles, tatting shuttles, or a hook (cro-tatting) for tatted projects.





Motifs from Beeton's Book of Needlework look like this:



The newer books are filled with patterns using overdye fibers -- solid fibers, colorful, bright fibers and some patterns add BEADS.

Thread the Needle ...



Thread the Needle Day



Per Holiday Insights web site:

Today is Thread the Needle Day (July 25th). You can be certain that today is going to be a great day........ if your sew.

Thread the Needle Day certainly is a day for those who sew. It also has a second meaning. The term "thread the needle", is also a saying. It means to either walk a fine and difficult line between two things or issues, or to do something difficult. For example, suppose two of your friends are on opposite sides of an issue. You may have to "thread the needle" on that issue, as you attempt to retain both of them as your friend.

The creator of Thread the Needle Day did not document this day. So, until we find him or her, you can celebrate today by either sewing or threading the needle on issues.
