Summary:
"Explore traditional Shetland lace knitting with expert teacher Brooke Nico! She shows how just three simple motifs--Feather and Fan and Old Shale; Acre and Razor; and Horseshoe and Leaf--can yield a variety of lovely items, from fashion, to accessories, to home deĢcor. Step-by-step photos and easy-to-follow instructions help even beginners grasp each stitch, and the projects grow progressively more difficult as knitters become more comfortable with the techniques."--Amazon.com.
