Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

According to Bessie M. Attenborough, in a book entitled, The Craft of Tatting, “Tatting in its modern form is lace making at its most exquisite.” Attenborough explains that earlier tatting, an "age-old craft," was used to trim furnishings, but the craft evolved with the creation of modern threads in cotton and silk to include fashion. Collars, chokers, gloves, evening bags, and wedding dresses, to name only a few, featured tatted lace.
Granny’s box contains beautiful examples of this craft.
