Kim Rae, I didn't even know there was chicken & hens in tatting. You and I are lace knitters. 😇 We are not a dying breed. My state fair is the place to find people who know the "Tatters." I want to learn too!!!!! Look up the Textile Center. It's in Minnesota, but they are passionate about the hand arts. I. would love to read about your grandmother. Can't wait. I want to learn too!!!!! I found this site: https://tattingcorner.com/index.php?main_page=teachers.
