Techniques, Patters, and Traditions

Learn about traditional lace-knitting techniques, such as:

• Different ways to make the distinctive nupp, or subdued bobble
• Modern adaptations of the classic ways of constructing shawls and scarves and adding lace edges

Knitted Lace of Estonia includes dozens of Estonian, heirloom-quality lace patterns: scarves and shawls in square, rectangular, and triangular shapes; some with added edgings, some without. Plus, the book covers instructions for interchanging patterns and designing an Estonian-style shawl, stole or scarf from beginning to end. And, tips and techniques used in Estonia are included and augmented with expert advice from popular author Nancy Bush.  softcover, 159 pages
