For some reason, the fall brings with it thoughts of lace, maybe it's the idea of wrapping oneself in lovely warm shawls, whatever it is, this book was timely for me.
I received a review copy of Wendy Knits Lace, and there are some really sweet things in this book.
This book would be good for someone who is ready to jump into lace and wants some options, some mitts with a touch of lace, a sweater with a bit (or a lot) of lace on it, or ultimately a full-on lace shawl. There is a bit of instruction in it, but it is not a how to knit lace book. I think an intermediate knitter could use this book as an introduction to lace, but it isn't in depth.
Of course, it would also be great for an experienced knitter if you simply love one or more of the patterns. Personally, I love this one.
Isn't that just luscious? Delicate and summery, the perfect addition to a summer dress for the evening. Gorgeous.
If you're feeling a bit more wintery...
A pair of pretty gloves that are dainty and feminine, but ultimately practical and warm.
Or of course, a lovely shawl
There are quite a few of these, both stole and traditional triangular shapes.
Take a gander at all the patterns in Ravelry and see if this is one that needs to go on your holiday wishlist!
