Tatting can be used to make lace edging as well as doilies, collars, and other decorative pieces. The lace is formed by a pattern of rings and chains formed from a series of cow hitch, or half-hitch knots, called double stitches (ds), over a core thread. Gaps can be left between the stitches to form picots, which are used for practical construction as well as decorative effect. Tatting dates to the early 19th century. The term for tatting in most European languages is derived from French frivolité, which refers to the purely decorative nature of the textiles produced by this technique. The technique was developed to imitate point lace.

As someone that watches national league rugby on a regular basis, I agree with what has been said, there is no end of talent in the lower leagues.

The problem with players from certain clubs, Whitehaven being one, is that it would take a very good financial deal to get players to leave their jobs and chance their arm professionally, which is why SL clubs don't move for these players, they're not as cheap as they would appear.

I don't think they're the fussy sort, to be so particular. I'd have worked on his face.

Anyone know what became of the. academy super star, younger brother? Aaron Pratt?

Oh. That's disappointing. The thought of former RL players turning to ornamental textiles to make a living was much more fun.

The more coverage sky give's Nl1 and 2 i was thinking maybe we should be looking to sign more player's from the lower league's.
Afterall player's don't alway's develop before thay are 21 with the like's of ian kirke and andy raleigh perfect example's of this.
Tvoc mentioned young fallon at fev and last week kyle amor had an outstanding game for whitehaven so there is talent out there maybe we should be more willing as a league to give these type of player's a chance.
I personally would like to the like's of fallon and amor given a go ala kirke where they train full time for a few month's whilst still playing for their respective club's.
Afterall we have nothing to lose.
Any thought's???

Yeah ! Why the persistent annoying inexcusable mis-use of apostrophes. ....they should be used to signify missing letter/s ( "you're" for you are for example)...or to signify possesion of something ( the dog's bone short for the bone of the dog...or the dogs' bone...short for the bone of the dogs - plural - no apostrophe....for example)

Wortley Dragons IIRC and he was never all that good another player who thought he'd made it just by playing for the Academy team, Like his brother enjoyed chewing his face off if you know what i mean, He knew his way to the White Line just a shame it wasn't on the Rugby pitch...
