We had quite the turn out for our first ever personal celebration of Distaff/Roc Day. What a variety of wheel styles there were, even an electric one that Tam brought. So many lovely spindles were there too, including some made by Darla and one made by Sue. I brought along my Ren Scot produced spindle as well. Schelli brought her Navajo style spindle and Darla brought her new one from Gypsy Wools in Boulder. Katte had her first experience with a drop spindle, I believe that she will be way more successful at spinning then I will ever be at tatting which I tried to learn today. Sigh. I went back to my lace knitting as that makes more sense to me...

Tatting takes time; but that being said, it is a craft that has an *AH HAH* moment--suddenly your fingers just know what to do! Please don't give up---I can see you doing well with it and using it.
I learned as a child from my grandmother, who could make that shuttle fly. Now there are so many options in shuttle sizes and threads to use....or fine wool???? :)
Just keep at it! You can do it!
XXOO!!

@Anne, I do not intend to give up, just need a lefty to show me the way.
