Back in July I mentioned that I was going to have a tatting class. The tatting class consisted of three local ladies, two whom I have known since our children were young. I was pretty excited to have people interested in a class and that they were local.
We had our first session in July, then had to have a bit longer of a break before our next lesson than any of us wanted due to personal obligations for all of us. But we finally had another class and then another. Then we decided we would just try to meet up at least once a month to get together and tat.
How cool is that?

It is so fun getting together with these ladies. We are laughing almost the entire time. A couple of them have started the same project of a simple heart pattern. Each are progressing at a different pace but are making progress, they just need to keep practicing. As they learn and practice tatting I’m learning and practicing how better to pass on my tatting knowledge. We’re all having a great time learning.
Next month we’ll be meeting at my house. At the last meeting we started talking about coming up with a name for our tatting group. Any suggestions?

Oh, I'm so excited for you to have a group- what fun!
How about Tatters' Titters?
Titter like talking and laughing, I mean. Maybe its not such a good name…
Looks like fun! 🙂
Always nice to see and hear about get-to-gathers, looks so fun!
I so admire you having the opportunity to teach others to tat, it isn't easy trying to pass on the knowledge and it takes time and patience, so well done. As for a name 'titter tatters' is an excellent suggestion. Or Wanda's wonderful tatters!
What a great idea to have a name, not sure where you live but how about, the name of where you live tatters.

Oh good, I'm glad there are more tatters in the world and you're having fun together. Name the group after your town perhaps?
You have illustrated so well what I have maintained throughout – one learns even more when one teaches !!! Congratulations & best wishes to the new tatters & to your exhilarating tatting group 🙂
Here's a quirky name that comes to mind, considering you gals have such a swell time chatting & tatting, And being in the IT era : ChaTATerati ;-P
