Reviews

[April Beth · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderful compendium of lace panels and explanations of history and why each stitch works the way it does. If you are new or experienced this book is a helpful addition to your library. A great read from cover to cover and a great knit from stitch to stitch.
