    A very pretty snowflake - also I like the way you photograph your tatting, makes it so much more interesting. Tempting us with another tatting link too!

    I'm quite astonished that in 1921 she used the number-dash system! I didn't think that came about until the 1970s! Wonderful designs in that book - a real trailblazer! I do like the Josephine knots.

    I know by going to the antique books I find many people took from the old stuff and those directions too.
