I just got this large book last weekend (I had a gift card for Barnes
& Noble) and have found an awful lot of shawls/scarves I want to make
from it. It wasn't indexed (or I didn't find the kind I wanted) so I
made an index with the projects, along with yarn types and
requirements, and difficulty (the author has several Easy Lace
patterns, but most are either Intermediate or Experienced.) I got
1000 yards of laceweight wool at the last festival I attended, so now
I just have to decide what to knit! One interesting feature is that
many of the scarves have knitted on borders which will be a new
challenge to me. I do recommend it to anyone wanting lace scarf
patterns!

I also have this book. I have started the "Cap Shawl" pg 28. This
shawl is so easy to work. I'd recommend it to anyone too.

I was thinking about the Cap Shawl because of that beautiful spiral in
the center! I must just grit my teeth and start something (teeth
gritted because if I start something all the others are not done!)

Now, I had a look at that today at Chapters, and decided not to buy it.
While there were many nice patterns there, I just didn't find enough to
get me excited enough to spend that kind of money. Maybe another time.

Higs,
Katherine

Is the lace all knit, or are there crochet patterns in there? I'm
interested, but don't really knit. My hooks and I have a long and
satisfying history together and I'm just not good enough with needles to
purl comfortably, let alone work on lace patterns.

Knitpixie has a really beautiful round lace shawl crochet pattern
available that I'm thinking about attempting someday, but probably I
won't get a chance to do anything other than think for a year or more
(when the youngest kid is a little more independent and I don't have to
keep stopping mid-count to rescue/fix/feed/change/etc. him).
