Interviewed

About a month ago Fox put up a calling all tatters under thirty post.  It was for an interview about why you are a tatter and how it is starting to have a resurgence.  Being that I fit the criteria, a tatter under thirty, I volunteered myself.  I was finally interviewed by Joann last week.  Unfortunately I probably won't make it into her article.  The main reason is I have no real connections to Canada and it is a Canadian publication.  But who knows she may still use me. 

I'm finally getting some people interested tatting.  Last Sunday I had four students instead of the normal two.  I've noticed a few more who are interested too.  I hope some of my students come back for the class at the end of the month.

First tatting Class

I just taught my first tatting class.  I had a two hours to teach basics and hopefully a pattern.  It was a simple chain and ring flower and a simple butterfly.  Two hours later neither of my students could get past flipping the stitch.

I don't know how to teach the flip any easier.  My sister, who only cross-stitches, was able to flip a stitch in a half an hour.

More research must be done.  What is the easiest way to teach someone how to flip a stitch?
