Review:

"If you have been wanting to knit beaded lace but are like me--a bit too intimidated--I highly recommend this book. Anniken holds your hands and guides your needles with such an encouraging and enthusiastic touch. She'll have you believing you can tackle anything...and she's right there with you to lend a hand."

"Author Anniken Allis has created a delightful book of 25 knitted items that cover all levels of knitters....Even a beginner can easily follow along and expand their knitting skill set. What I love most about the book...is that she has rated each pattern by complexity, not skill level. She doesn't want to scare you away from any piece, and I find that wonderfully refreshing!" (Karen Whooley KRW Knitwear Studio 2015-06-24)

"If you already love beaded lace, you're going to want to pick up this book. It has a nice variety of patterns and uses both beads and lace in different ways, which is fun. If you're new to the idea of adding beads to lace, this book is a great place to start, too, because of the well-organized projects. Start at the beginning and pick something that doesn't have beads all over it, and you'll soon have the confidence to knit some of the bigger projects." (Sarah White About.com 2015-06-26)
