Have Shuttle - Will Tat  Leonore's tatting page has nice photos and several patterns.

Italian Tatting Page  The page has lots of nice photos, but even the pattern section is photos only. Unfortunately I don't understand what she writes about herself, and about tatting, but the photos alone are worth a surf.

Domestic Arts Home Page (Dianna Stevens)  Dianna is a tatting designer with lots of innovative ideas that she freely shares. Info on her two books on tatting, patterns and the mystery motif section where she shows new techniques.

Tatter's TatChat Page  The page of the TatChat mailing list. There is a member's list, photos of TatChat exchanges, some even with patterns, info on current exchanges, interesting discussions and of course subscription information.

TATTERED  One of the most comprehensive pages on tatting I know. Lots of tatting photos, especially doilies from round robins (some of them with patterns), locate-a-lacemaker section, patterns and lots of other interesting tatting information. Many good links.

Carrie's Tatting Instruction Page Best page with tatting instructions I ever saw. Many good fastloading graphics to help you master the "click". Unfortunately the method shown is not the fastest tatting method.

Nancy's Tatting Page Because of her marriage this page is not working right now.

This 'n' Tat -- Tatting and Lacework Lisa Trumble's tatting page with tatting instruction (also some advanced techniques), lots of patterns. Graphically well made page.
