To celebrate International Tatting Day, Beth (Left) & I (right) and Grace–the 3 Tatting Amigas of Grand Junction–met at a local coffee shop to ‘Tat in Public’.

Unfortunately, Grace was only there for a short period of time for her ‘coffee break’ & I forgot to get a photo of her.

The only problem with the 2 I have is that the crochet hook is not small enough for my recent tatting tasks.
