Tatting dates to the early 19th century. The term for tatting in most European languages is derived from French frivolité, which refers to the purely decorative nature of the textiles produced by this technique. The technique was developed to imitate point lace. While perusing etsy this morning I found lots of tatted pretties. Here are a few of my favorites - hope you enjoy the eye candy...

Oh my gosh, what lovely things. I especially loved yarnplayers necklace of white with a colorful flower on top! How nice of you to show off such lovely handmade things from fellow Etsians! Have a good weekend. Debby
How funny is this!! You must have been reading my mind! Tatting is something that I have always wanted to learn to do. Bought a shuttle and some thread and a dvd just last week. I hope to learn it, but so far I haven't gotten the hang of it, but I am not giving up yet! These treasures that you found are beautiful!
Thanks for including my work in this post - so much pretty tatting!! -amy
Thanks for bringing tatting to the forefront. I have some tatting in my Etsy shop too!!! Southern Lady's Vintage - do get in touch if you need help. There are many shuttle tatters (shuttle is the 'real' and original tatting method) out here who would love to help you get started.
