Shetland Fine Lace Knitting

Shteland Fine Lace Knitting, Recreating Patterns from the Past. The British publishers did not anticipate the enthusiasm knitters have for lace books. The first printing sold out immediately - before they could send any copies to the U.S. So we waited and waited for the reprint, and here it is. All of the patterns are from the Shetland Museum Lace collection in categories such as Vertical Centre Patterns, Single Patterns in Borders, Crowns and a Cross, Laces Edges, and more. Each motif is photographed twice: an original handspun Cobweb version and then a test-knitted sample in Shetland Laceweight, plus both verbal and charted instructions. A beautiful book of lace motifs, lightly sprinkled with photographs of Shetland landscapes and sheep. Hardcover, with dust jacket, 208 p.
