Tatting

Today I tried out a new hobby. Tatting. It's not something anyone has ever showed me how to do, so I've been trying to teach myself with the help of some online sources. I literally have spent about five hours working on this today. I've made some progress, but I'm anxious to get a little farther. I'm just going to have to take it slow for right now because this stuff requires a lot of technique. But, at some point it should come just as easy to me as crocheting.
Here's a sample of what I was able to accomplish today...
The picture below is what I am hoping to accomplish in a relatively short period of time...
Well, I won't copy that design exactly, but you get what I'm striving for.
