OK, Tatting is WAY Awesome.

So I met Laura when she brought in her amazing tatted earrings to sell, and of course, being the shopping addict I am, I bought myself a pair IMMEDIATELY:

MAN I love them!  So then I tell her that she NEEEEDS to teach a class so all of us crafting addicts can learn.  Like we need ANOTHER hobby.  But we DO!

So, Laura agreed, and she came in for a dry-run of the class the other day, and taught me!

LOOK WHAT I MADE WITH MY VERY OWN TWO HANDS:

Yup.  I'm addicted.  She taught me the basics of reading patterns too, so now I can do snowflakes for my Christmas tree out of - wait for it - SOCK YARN.

We have tons of colors of the crochet thread this is made out of, and the needle set we use comes with the sizes to use crochet thread (traditional) AND sock yarn for you yarnies out there hoarding it!!

Oh man, today REALLY should have been a snow day so I could sit at home on the couch, watch the snow come down, drink 7 cups of coffee, and TAT.

Thanks, CDOT, for ruining my snow day.
