While it is April Fool's Day,
I'm not trying to fool anyone!
Today's Crazy Day
is a genuine day.
International Tatting Day
Initially, I thought that this
was a day to head off to
the local tattoo parlour
for a layer of ink...
but, no.
Today is a much gentler day...
It’s a day for needles, though...
Lace making needles!
Tatting is the art of making lace.
It seems that lace
is mostly made from tying knots
and making loops.
I have to agree –
when I think of the doilies
that used to sit
on my bedroom cupboard
while I was growing up.
Tatting dates back
to the early 1800s.
A quick search discovered hundreds
of patterns on-line...
so, off you go!
Go make some lace!
And watch out for practical jokes
and way out stories!
It is April Fool's Day...
