On a personal note, my journey with Tatted Lace has been filled with many attempts, but I’ve found that needles and shuttles just don’t come easily to me. Yet, where one path closes, another opens. It’s interesting to note that Tatted Lace and Micro Macrame share a linguistic connection through the term "Frivolite." This concept expands into Micro Macrame with Frivolite Knot. By working with fine threads, the delicate beauty of Tatted Lace can effortlessly blend into the world of Micro Macrame. Curious to learn more? Here’s a sneak peek at how it all comes together:

These two oak leaves showcase the beauty of artistic exploration, each created with its own unique patterns and techniques. One leaf, delicately woven using Tatted Lace, pays tribute to centuries of tradition, while the other, crafted in the modern style of Micro Macrame, embodies innovation and contemporary flair.
