craftgrrl | crocheting and tatting. (Reply)

i know jack about both. other than the hooked needles. and that my great gramma used to crochet snow hats with little flowers on the side that did *nothing* against the cold. and tons, and tons of them. i probably have like..20 still.
and tatting... i get the feeling it involves crochet needles, but *tiny* as in...size 10, 13 but thin? i dont know if theyre different. i have a whole bunch of stuff that my moms friend gave me. it was knitting needles (which im using) and yarn and all that good stuff for knitting, a whole bunch of large crochet hooks and a box of thin thread in tons of colors, tiny crochet hooks, linen handkerchiefs, and some random junk that i cant place as belonging to any category. probably because i dont have the slightest clue about all 3 (knitting crocheting and tatting) all though i can knit. typical. along with the tiny needles and colored thread, there were little lacy loopy things, and pretty lacey things attached to the linen things. and names.

id just like to know *anything* about it. tatting that is (which is what i *think* thats what the stuff is for.) and links to instructions for that and crocheting. id like to go out and get the 'learn to crochet' kit that boye/lionbrand has, cuz my knitting kit like that was amazing. but theres too much snow right now. so...thanks in advance. =D
