Publisher's Synopsis
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 70 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. It includes seven straightforward, but effective projects, all of which can be varied and made more or less complex by the knitter.
