Hi, and welcome to needle_tat. Needle tatting is much easier than tatting with a shuttle, and stops you from going insane to boot. :)
I'm going to be starting on-line lessons soon, for both beginners and advanced tatters. Just in case you didn't know, needle tatting can use shuttle tatting patterns, so that old fancy doily of your grandma's can be done with a needle. I'll also be posting some of my very own patterns. So, pull up a chair, grab a drink and let's get tatting! Feel free to chat about whatever you'd like, but please keep it clean.
