 Shawl shapes and how to design your own September 3, 2006
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I'm new to lace knitting, but not new to knitting. I've become fascinated with lace shawls and was looking for a good introduction. This book is exactly what I was looking for.
After a brief introduction of the history of lace shawl knitting and the appropriate yarns to use, the author presents a detailed description of shawl shapes (triangle, square, rectangle, circle and halfcircle) and how to create them through increases and decreases. That's exactly what I wanted to know !!!
There are a few stitch patterns shown and a few complete projects to knit which are all helpful, but were not my main focus in buying this book.
If Ms. Waterman were ever to revise and expand this book, I would ask for a more detailed discussion of fitting stitch patterns into the various sections of the shawl while still at the same time shaping with increases and decreases. There is a brief discussion, but I could have used more details.
Now, with Martha's Waterman's explanations of the ways to construct the various shapes and my copies of Barbara Walker's First and Second Stitch Treasuries, I have everything I need.

I am happy with this book. It has some example patterns and then a bunch of stitch patterns so you can create your own once you are comfortable with shawl making.
A great shawl book June 21, 2006
This is the only shawl book I have that I have almost made every one in the book. There are such great, well-written shawl patterns in here. If you want to do a lacy fabulous looking shawl and are an intermediate knitter, this is the book to let you get the "wow" reaction from family and friends.
A very good how-to book on shawls August 6, 2005

This book is an excellent book on how to create your own shawls. The projects are very limited, however the number of stitch patterns, how to shape shawls, how to mend them, and different ways to wear them make this one of the best lace book that I have come across.
Exactly right! July 20, 2005
