That's right, I got six of Ineke Kuiperij's books. And yes, they are written in Dutch, and no, I don't read Dutch. Between the diagrams and online translators, I should be able to manage. I do like a challenge.

New Challenges
I recently acquired a second harp student. This is nice, as it gives me a bit of extra money each month. Next month I'm planning to get a smartphone; this month, however, I blew the wad on tatting books.

She has such gorgeous patterns! I have a few books but have yet to tat from them. I started the chess set, one piece, and never went back! I have the carousel one too which fascinates me but have not even attempted it. Let us know how you do! Riet is very good about helping with the translation if you get stuck.
