Wonderful book! January 8, 2009 This book has so much information! I can't wait to knit something out of it!
More lace knitting December 26, 2008 This is a good addition to the knit library. It is clear and has inspiring project possibilities. It give a little history and relates the difference in knitting lace between modern and traditional as well as among regions and age groups of knitters. I expect to make a couple of the items.

Well done! December 10, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a gorgeous book. It is so well done with beautiful pictures, and really excellent close-ups, so you can actually see the project in detail. I own many knitting pattern and technique books, and some of the more highly-rated of those are lacking in photography and organization, are printed on cheap paper, and have many errors (grammatical and technical) in them; this one only has minor errors in 4 charts, and they have been corrected in subsequent printings. I love the stories and the old photos, and the mini-stitch dictionary.
One book is never going to satisfy everyone. If you like looking at breathtakingly beautiful knitted items beautifully photographed, and want to knit any of them without having to have pages of corrections nearby, then this quality book will provide that.
