I really admire the fact that you started a tatting group without knowing how to tat.
When I started the knitting group, we sat around a table. I asked who here knows how to knit? One woman raised her hand. I said great, show us how to start. The group met for nine months, we all made a dishcloth, and a baby sweater and one sock. I still see members and they are still knitting. The knitter who taught us started giving knitting lessons at the local Shepard's Center, she didn't know she loved teaching.
