Tatting Day has been celebrated internationally for over 4 years now. April 1st is the International Tatting Day.
Tatting is a needlepoint skill of making delicate, elegant tatted lace. It is enjoyed by thousands of people.
On this day, "tatters" around the world have different activities, mostly educational, to celebrate their hobby, and introduce it to others. Often, they celebrate by eating chocolates and making tatted laceI made this motif with size 20

(motif out of the book
Easy Tatting by Rozella F. Linden)
Pulled out
Flora , size 50, and am attempting the same motif with finer cotton. btw, am using my
size 14 crochet hook for the joins --- my GF, Beth, calls it the stick with invisible hook!
Look at the difference in sizes ... For me, it is a bit of a challenge.
