I haven’t been doing much knitting lately. I’ve been on a mad cleaning binge. So to reward myself and maybe get in the knitting mood, I decided on a spontaneous splurge. Three books were purchased: - Victorian Lace Today by Jane Sowerby -I picked up this book and couldn’t put it down. The photos alone were captivating, I wanted to step into a photo and sit down. There are so many designs in the book, ranging to all skill levels and the tone of the book tries to convey that lace knitting isn’t hard after all. All of the designs are in chart form, and near the end they encourage you to try and design your own shawl. I’m looking forward to starting something, problem is I can’t decide what to tackle first, it all makes me swoon (does anyone do that anymore? Outside of a romance novel?)
