I really thought from the times I'd seen the expression used at In Tatters that it meant either needle or shuttle - not either right or left-handed!! Though of course, ambidextrous means just that.<br /><br />I shall have to correct myself on the next blogpost!! I did mean to put a note about your own website - I wasn't trying to steal your word! I just thought tatters had started using it to mean shuttle/needle tatters.Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10318670621310820581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-63600169614324592172013-03-19T15:33:51.424+00:002013-03-19T15:33:51.424+00:00Great job working both needle and shuttle to creat...Great job working both needle and shuttle to create such a pretty motif! <br /><br />I got a chuckle reading "Ambitatterous... a neat expression for those who tat with either a needle or a shuttle." <br /><br />As I created the term for my first tatting web site (hosted by Geocities) and for me it referred to anyone who is able to tat either right- or left-handed. (No matter what tool is used.)<br /><br />But I quite like your interpretation, especially as it leads to many more ambitatterous lacers in the world!IsDiharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129251975229390303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-54888531723869921822013-03-19T07:25:10.509+00:002013-03-19T07:25:10.509+00:00Hi Kathy, yes, I can do the first group of rings n...Hi Kathy, yes, I can do the first group of rings not too bad as well... it's that last one that was always confusing me!! I could rarely get it to interlock properly on both sides - what a brain puzzle! Maybe I should try again?
