If You Click on "Portriat of Anne Contess of Albemarie" to see the painting

Hi Wigan,

This reminds me of my 90 year old friend who is so adept at so many crafts, tatting was one, though, now she only does a bit of crotchet.

I might have to print this clip to share with her next time I see her. She would be utterly and totally chuffed.

A friend tried to teach this vanishing skill to me a while back. I felt like a klutz but I think I will go look for my little shuttle and thread again. Thanks.

Hi Celestial,hope your friend likes it,i love anything like this i have all my mums and nans sewing collection but sadly lots of it is in boxes in the attic

Hi Wigan I am sure she will love it. Some of the needles are beautiful.

I think it's beautiful, not really in style these days though...
