RustieKate just wanted to tell you your videos for needle tatting are teriffic. Since i am from Irish decent I have watched many of my great aunts use a shuttle. But needle is faster. Thanks for the encouragement you say not to give up. Well i haven't. One question are your videos available for sale? My husband & I fight over the computer & it would be easier to play dvds in my sewing room. Thanks  again for all your efforts in teaching. I have been crocheting & knitting for 43 years. I learned when I was 8 years old & never looked back. Now my 4 year old granddaughter started to knit when she was 3 years old she asked one day could she try & I jumped on it. My daughter is crafty too but not my craft. So it doesn't matter how old you are I guess we are always learning! God Bless
