 Gorgeous book! October 3, 2008
What a wonderful book this is. Eye candy on every page! The photos are inspiring and the information complete...what more could you ask. The only problem is, I'd now like to knit most of these shawls!
 Good for any challenge! September 22, 2008
If you are a knitter or just beginning this a great book! It has the answers in the back!
Nice addition to knitting library September 12, 2008
This book is a great combination of a knitting book, coffee book, and Victorian history book. The author did extensive research for this book and it shows--she presents a fascinating history of the women who designed and created lace knitting pieces in the 1800s. The designs are written out and charted, which is great because they are complex. The photos are gorgeous and show off the projects. The shawls are stunning to look at and varied in design.
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in knitting or reading about Victorian lace knitting patterns.
Victorian Lace Today August 11, 2008
I was interested in learning how to knit lace. This book is for the more experienced knitter although I am not. But the patterns are beautiful and will be a great challenge. I recommend this book for the more expereinced knitter.
Eye candy for lace lovers July 14, 2008
I don't knit, so I can't review the patterns in this book. But I love knitted lace, and this book is as much a coffee table book for the richness of its photos as it is a book of knitted lace history and patterns. You are taken to a place of elegance and calm, the solid structures of history, the delicate composition of lace drifting on the wind.
