🧵 I’ve been tatting (frivolité) for a while now — it’s quiet, meditative, and surprisingly addictive.

A simple thread turns into lace. Knot by knot.

I know how hard it is to start when every diagram looks confusing and you’re not even sure which shuttle to buy.

So I put together a beginner-friendly guide — just what I wish I had when I started.

It’s a PDF, with photos, slow steps, and a little project at the end.

If you’ve ever wanted to try tatting, this might help.

No pressure — just sharing something I love.

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.

Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

this is my "Sorry, i Forgot" quilt that i originally started as a gift and then forgot about for a year (or two). the backing is two different fabrics cuz i'm trying to cut down my stash this year. rushed to finish this in time to be shown at the Pittsburgh Folk Fest, which is why the quilting is a little jank :')
