Done is cordonet #100 measures around 5 inchesI don't share too often because I really don't have a lot of material. I lost everything a couple of years ago. But when I get something, I like to share.
This is an antique Finnish book of Tatting and Macrame. It was on the Antique Pattern Library or the Arizona Univ Textile soruces but now it's not listed. Anyway, I uploaded it to Esnips and you can download it if you like. It's almost 20 Mb, so will take a while to download.

In the personal this is one of my favorite books. It has a lot of designs very pretty and covers several techniques. I think it's a must for any tatter.
