Time to get caught up here - on Monday I taught my first tatting class. We met at a local tea shop that is selling my hankies on consignment. We had 5 students, and my 16 year-old daughter was my assistant.
I set up a kit with a hanky, a handy hands catalog, an instruction sheet, a shuttle, and a ball of thread. We spent about 45 minutes working on the flip, then added the double stitch and closing a ring. That was all the time we had, but I showed them picots and joins at the end.
One student left with closed rings, and another called me the next day to report her success. That means we have at least 2 new tatters in the world. I'd suspect that at least one of the other students will stick with it as well.
A great time was had by all!

Congratulations! I think it's exciting to share our passion for tatting. And that you have students that have picked it up so quickly is great! So, another session next week?
That is totally awesome! Congratulations on 2 of your students learning how to close rings by now! :)
Congratulations! Thank you for taking your time to teach new tatters our art form.
Wow! Your success with the new students is impressive. Congrats on adding a few new tatters to the ranks, hee, hee. The others who have commented before me have said it best, but I still wanted to add my applause to the swell of joyful clapping. You did great!
