I am very impressed with this book! Although it has a few patterns in this book it is primarily a source book for some beautiful lace patterns. These patterns, which are very well produced and detailed, can then be applied to any knitting you might need to add some decoration. I knit a lot of socks and can see me adding panels of lace to a plain sock. This could be applied to any garment you may need to add interest. The photographs are very clear and text is easy to read and understand. All the patterns are in written and chart form. There are several useful techniques listed and I personally found the article on blocking your completed work extremely informative. This very well-presented book is a brilliant book for any knitter's library. -- Heather Tucker * Amazon Customer Review * Here's an easy-to-follow book, with 13 projects, to give the inspiration and skills to transform beginners into accomplished experts. All the swatches have clear photos and each stitch has both written and chart form, so even novices can start right away. * Machine Knitting Monthly *
