        Enchanting Lace Cloths

        by Christine Nöller

        Knitted lace scarves and accessories have been back in fashion for some time now. The lace knitting is a particularly beautiful, modern variant, which has now slowly arrived. Lacet cloths are knitted from fine yarns and from high-quality raw materials such as merino extra fine, silk or alpaca, but also from robust sock yarn, with needles that are too large. In our introductory series "ABC of Handicrafts", lace expert Christine Nöller, in cooperation with the yarn company Zitron, explains in detail how you can easily knit distinctive unique pieces yourself. The 16 different and coordinated models, such as scarves, shawls, loops and gauntlets, are sure to succeed thanks to the richly illustrated instructions. The Lace guide even contains instructions for a romantic and playful lace parasol. From the festive scarf to the elegant stole to the filigree handbag - here you will find your favourite lace accessory for every occasion!

        Bedfordshire Lace

        by Jean Leader

        Bedfordshire lace became popular in the fashions of the second half of the nineteenth century because of the beauty of its bold-open designs, often with elegant floral motifs, and it continues to fascinate and captivate lacemakers today. This practical book is dedicated to the novice and experienced lacemaker wishing to learn these techniques so as to realize this elegance for themselves. Information is given about the equipment needed for bobbin lacemaking, how to make a pricking (the pattern on which the lace is made), and how to wind thread on the bobbins. Instruction explains how to work cloth stitch and half stitch, plaits, windmill crossings, picots and leaf-shaped tallies, and how to finish a piece of lace. There is a series of twenty-six patterns, some traditional and others designed more recently. These are supported by instructions, photographs and diagrams. The patterns include small motifs, edgings - some with corners for handkerchiefs - butterflies and, finally, three exquisite collars.
