I'm teaching myself to tat!

I've been enjoying samples of tatting from several sources, for several years, and decided to give it a try. There was the choice of either shuttle tatting or needle tatting. I chose needle tatting and here are my first samples. The first is a ring, the second is a joined ring. It's really fun to do. Now unto a "real" project, after I finish learning all the stitches. :)
