One of the great things about tatting is that it can be done almost anywhere. All you need is a shuttle or needle and some thread, and you can create beautiful lace patterns while traveling, waiting for an appointment, or simply relaxing at home. Tatting can be a peaceful and meditative activity, and it provides a creative outlet for those who enjoy working with their hands.
