Wendy D. Johnson

I definitely need to make this book a part of my personal library. Gorgeous patterns and easy to follow instructions.

A nice book with 20 lace knitting projects for various skill levels, illustrated with attractive photos and with charts for the patterns. The introduction has some useful tips - the "lifeline" method of preventing dropped stitches and the "provisional cast-on" when you're going to start knitting in the other direction from your cast-on.

Essential techniques and patterns for irresistible every day lace

With 20 original patterns for gorgeous lace shawls, sweaters, hats, gloves and of course socks, popular blogger and author Wendy Johnson provides thorough instruction on the best lace techniques for aspiring, experienced and advanced knitters.
