Tatting is an entirely different " art " than crochet. I still kick

myself as I gave a distant cousin the beautiful varigated color dress

my mother crochet for me, there are black and white pictures of me

wearing it either around Easter the year I was 1 or perhaps on my

first birthday. But with the black and white, you cannot, obviously

see the colors or the ribbon she wove around the neck and tied in a

bow! Then, in the late 1960's or early '70's, she was going to

crochet me another dress but I don't know what happened to that!

Just as I don't know where the pineapple patterned table cloth she

mush have been working prior to my brother's death. It was packed

away and in her cedar chest for the rest of her life. Those items

were made with cotton crochet thread; it's a different ply than

sewing thread, but the same thread that is used for tatting. She

also made so many people in the family afghans -- one of my cousins

had hung the one she made for he and his family on the wall as he

consider it a piece of art (and he should have known, he was also an

artist!) And if anyone has ever seen a catherdal window quilt, you

can imagine the quilt she made during the winters she and my father

were snow birds in Texas and Arizona. That was her high school

graduation present to my niece (now 36! but she is not allowed to

have it! her mom has kept!). But she was never able to sit still

long enough for an aunt or grandmother to teach her how to knit! That

I taught myself, but things do have a tendency to some tires

unravel! And my middle sister claims I knit backwords! Ha! I do a

lot of things back works!
