5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, Feb 12 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: A New Twist On Tatting: More Than 100 Glorious Designs (Paperback)

This is a wonderful book for inspiration! I've tried several of the patterns (there's 50) and thoroughly enjoyed each project.

This review is from: A New Twist On Tatting: More Than 100 Glorious Designs (Paperback)

If you want a book filled with colorful pictures of tatting, you'll find them here. But, if you want patterns to tat all those pretty projects be ready for a surprise, because you won't find most of them. The first half of the book is filled with pictures of tatted projects, but no patterns to accompany them. The "New Twist" must be the use of obscure threads for most of the patterns given. Not only are these threads *not* readily available to tatters, there is no reference for conversion to the cotton or silk threads tatters usually use. Most of the patterns included are not especially unique, not enough to justify the relatively high cost of the book. Save your money, don't buy this one.

This review is from: A New Twist On Tatting: More Than 100 Glorious Designs (Paperback)

This book is filled with page after page of photos of cutesy bears and dollys with tatting draped all over them. When you go to the pattern section, surprise! -- no patterns for the items pictured. This is ok if you just view this book as inspiration (as much as bears and dolls and other flowery things can provide), but if you are looking for a good book of patterns you will be disapointed.
