Tatted and Crocheted Lace Pouch
I have had a life long love affair with lace making.
I started making lace when I was a little girl, when one of my grandmother’s friends taught me how to knit lace. She showed me that wrapping the needle with the yarn made holes and that I could figure out how to make wonderful things by putting those holes together.
I got addicted to crocheting lace in my teens and then in my 20’s, when I discovered tatting, I felt like I had come home!
Tatting and crochet really are ‘peas and carrots’ :o)
There are endless possibilities when you put them together. This is just one of the many many lacey things I have made by combining the two techniques:
Bliss. Pure and simple bliss.

Oh, my, those are just lovely! I am working with lace right now. I just love it, it is so beautiful. I am teaching myself hairpin lace and would like to try broomstick lace. I have played a little with knitting lace too. So pretty!

I love your tatted and crochet lace pouch. Two things I love to do, and knit and…… I too learned so many things from my grandmother and that makes it so much more special. Lovely post!
