In the Author's Words.....
"My desire for this book is to tell the story of Haapsalu lace knitting and to record some of the patterns that are part of this story. I've stayed true to tradtitions I learned from the knitters of Estonia in the patterns for the shawls and scarves included in this book. But, just like my handwriting, they reflect my personality."(pg7)
From the publisher.....
"Deepen your knowledge of lace knitting in Estonia with Nancy Bush's newest book, Knitted Lace of Estonia.
Learn about traditional lace-knitting techniques, such as:
* Traditional twig, peacock, and lily of the valley patterns and their variations
* 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."
