Karenplatt.co.uk: This book gives twenty-nine patterns of old lace tablecloths and mats, inspired by old patterns often found folded with some instructions missing. The patterns are intricate and delicate, the shapes are varied. If, like me, you have always wanted to show off your exquisite handknitting skills by trying your hand at fine lace-work, you will find this book useful. The book contains useful diagrams and all the finished pieces are shown in close up. An 80-page book that preserves the knitting heritage.
