Synopsis

Set against the backdrop of the world's tallest peaks, author Andrea Jurgrau's New Heights in Lace Knitting helps knitters create a beautiful collection of lace shawls and accessories and gain confidence in creating standout knitted lace.

Before starting any journey, knitters need to load their packs (or in this case, their knitting bags) with the right supplies. New Heights in Lace Knitting outlines exactly what knitters need in order to cerate a successful finished project. Knitters are guided through choosing the right yarns for lace, basic lace techniques, and a comprehensive how-to for adding beads to lace projects.

Beginners might start with a smaller project, such as fingerless mitts with lace detail, while experienced knitters may start with a lace shawl project that challenges their know-how. In all, there are 17 lace patterns that knitters are going to love exploring.

Review:

"Jurgrau (New Vintage Lace) chose a clever theme for this collection: mountain climbing. Adventurous knitters will be drawn to Jurgrau's exquisite lace designs--but novices will find that these peaks are not insurmountable, thanks to an excellent introductory tutorial on lace-knitting techniques." --Library Journal

"If you've ever felt like completing your latest WIP is comparable to climbing a mountain, this is the book for you! Drawing an analogy between lace knitting and mountain climbing, author Andrea Jurgrau starts you on the 'easier slopes' with basic lace techniques and aims to gradually elevate your skills until you reach the highest summit! Jurgrau also takes the reader through essential techniques such as blocking and reading charts to help you produce beautiful lace to be proud of." --Let's Knit Magazine

"Accessory projects span skill levels, with mitts and beanies that work well as introductory patterns for beginners." --Yarn Market News
