Frivolité | Artikel: History of Tatting - Frivolité
#TATTING is a form of hand made lace. Usually done with the aid of a shuttle or needle, it can also be done with just a spool of thread.
Tatting, like most #lace, is a series of knots that form patterns and shapes. Doilies, baby caps, edgings, place mats, purses and novelties can all be fashioned by tatting.
#TATTING as a craft goes back hundreds of years, but like many crafts, it’s popularity has peaked and waned over the years.
In 1760, a famous artist Sir Joshua Reynolds painted "Portrait of Anne, Countess of #Albemarle", and she is shown holding her tatting shuttle and ball of string.
In the mid-1800’s, it became extremely popular along with the many other Victorian ladies handcrafts, and patterns and ideas for tatting were published in the hand crafts magazines of the time.
