TattingChic's Library: Jan Stawasz

Welcome to My Tatting Library!

Welcome to My Tatting Library!
With my ever consuming love for all things tatting it seems only fitting that my tatting library would grow on a constant basis. The only way to keep track of these well loved tatting books is to keep an alphabetized index of them.
"Better yet," I thought to myself, "Why don't I share it with the online tatting community and they can add any thoughts or opinions about the book as they see fit."
Each book will have it's own blog post. If you happen to have one of these books feel free to share your own thoughts, comments, or reviews in the comment section of the blog post for that book!

Special Thanks to:
Joanne from 1-2-3 Stitch
for sending me a photo of a book to use!
The businesses who have given me permission to copy photos and link to their shops are in no way giving me any financial compensation for doing this. My compensation is the satisfaction of getting an alphabetized index of my personal tatting library organized and sharing it with the online tatting community! This is only an index of my tatting library, only the cover of the book is shown.

Oh, and one last thing...

Summary: This hardbound book has 87 pages bursting with full color photos for each pattern. There is a total of 28 patterns including floral motifs, doilies, a collar, necklace, tatted cap, a table runner and more. The patterns each have diagrams that include the stitch count and there are no written instructions with the patterns. The diagrams are clear and easy to read. At the front of the book there are full color photographs explaining how to tat and progressing to adding beads. Jan Stawasz is known world wide (amongst the international online tatting community) for his exqusite tatting patterns. He is a prolific designer and tatter. He also makes handmade tatting shuttles of which I am a proud owner of a few.
