The Magic of Shetland Lace Knitting by Elizabeth Lovick
Stitches, techniques, and projects for lighter-than-air shawls and more.
The ethereal beauty and intricacy of Shetland Lace knitting might at first seem beyond the powers of the everyday knitter, but the skills needed are within the reach of everyone who can knit and purl, cast-on and bind-off. The Magic of Shetland Lace Knitting is designed to take the novice from their first "yarn over" step by step to complex everyrow lace knitting.
In the essential skills chapter, the techniques are introduced with clear step-by-step instructions, charts, and detailed photographs of knitted samples.
The stitch directory includes a wealth of traditional Shetland motifs, all-overs, insertions, and laces including Cat's Paw, Candlelight, Horse Shoe, and many more. Organized by stitch and row count, finding the perfect stich is easy.
Includes project suggestions for how to work different stitches into elegant and traditional Shetland lace accessories such as scarves, hats and shawls.
