LOVE this book! Lots of Lovely Patterns,
By
This review is from: Knitted Lace of Estonia (Paperback)
I've had this book on my wish list for a while and I'm very glad I got it!I truly do love all the shawls and scarves in this book. They are similar to the front cover so if you like that pattern, you'll be happy with the patterns inside. There's a little bit of the history of shawls from Haapsalu, Estonia along with photos which was very interesting. Many shawl patterns from the region are used such as leaf, twig, birch, lily of the valley (absolutely lovely!), blueberry, ladybug, peacock, etc, etc). The shawls are either triangular, rectangular, or square - the book cover shawl is square and called Crown Prince Square Shawl. I was very pleased with this book and the lacey shawls offered--I'd like to start on about 4 of them right now.

This review is from: Knitted Lace of Estonia (Paperback)
I waited for 6 months for this book. right now it is the hotest book in the Lace Knitting world.Apparently the publishers did not think the book would go over this well so only made a limited supply , but it soon became a best seller at least in the knitting world. I got mine and quickly ran home form the post office and opened the box. Grabbed a cup of java and sat down and spent the whole afternoon reading and ooooin and awing over the designs in this book It truly is a wonderful book I am ever so happy I perservered in getting this book. If you are an avid Lace Knitter or just want to try a lace shawl you can't go wrong with this book. Every pattern in this book is a "I want to make this one".I strongly recommend this book. Love It, Love It, Love It

A good book for your knitting library!,

This review is from: Knitted Lace of Estonia (Paperback)
This book was interesting to read. I enjoyed learning about Estonian knitting traditions and the cool projects will provide fun for knitters of all abilities. I liked it so much, I purchased a second copy as a gift for my friend. The patterns are challenging but not overwhelming for an intermediate knitter.
