Knitted lace is beautiful, ethereal and eminently achievable by any
competent knitter. Written by a passionate lace knitter, this
comprehensive book contains a brief history of lace knitting and
considers the similarities between the genre from different
traditions. There is information on techniques, with over seventy
lace motifs and embellishments including making bobbles, beading
and how to create the Estonian Nupp. Whilst using traditional
motifs, Lace Knitting moves away from the traditional square shawls
of the past and focuses on wedding wraps, scarves and throws, as
well as household furnishings such as cushion covers. This book is
beautifully illustrated and includes a brief history of lace
knitting; information about yarns, tools and techniques and a fully
illustrated stitchionary, with charts and written instructions. It
also includes seven straightforward, but effective projects, all of
which can be varied and made more or less complex by the knitter.
