I finally did it.... instead of just lepaking at home, I drove all the way to Ain's
house for a tatting session!
So now dah faham sikit2.... balik rumah practice and this is what I managed to do..
Just ignore the picots yg macam2 size tu... ada S, M, L and even XL... Tapi right now I just want to concentrate on getting the technique right... haha...
Athirah says they look like rabbits' ears.... ok ok I know they're big.... looks like I need to practice more.....
