I love this book. It keeps me inspired to hone my lace knitting skills. Soon, I will start a pattern from this book. It's also something other folks like to look at and ohh and ahh over.

I've been knitting for nearly 50 years but this book made me convert to lace knitting. What a gorgeous collection! Not only are the designs beautiful but the techniques you learn while working on them are valuable. I particularly appreciate that the designs are charted as I am horrible at following written instructions. Of course my very favorite designs are the most intricate ones, Frost Flowers and Mediterranean Lace but I also appreciate the beautiful lacy tunics and gloves.
This isn't for the faint of heart but even if you are a beginner there is much to learn and dream over. I take this book out a lot and always find inspiration. I'm not good at making other people's designs exactly as they are presented but I've learned a lot about lace-knitting and have incorporated the techniques here into many other projects. This book is a valuable reference as well as a source of inspiration.
 check for corrections to avoid frustration! August 14, 2007

I've made several of the projects in this book, and I am looking forward to making more. It has beautiful patterns. But, I would have saved myself a lot of frustration and ripping out if I'd checked first for corrections to mistakes in the directions and charts before beginning my first project. All of the patterns I chose to make have had substantial mistakes in both charts and written instructions. A four page pdf of necessary fixes is available online, but I still lowered my rating of this book - the sheer number of mistakes is inexcusable for an expensive book produces by experience knitters. And they should have been corrected before reprinting - my copy is the fourth printing, still with the same mistakes.
