Getting to Grips with Lace Knitting

Have been doing quite well with my teardrop scarf - I am adding more rows to it so I can wear it more as a wrap. I will try and post some pics of my progress so far a little later. I am really amazed at the beauty and intricacy of lace knitting so following recommendations from my friends on the angel yarns forum I have just bought two new knitting books - the first is Victorian Lace Today - which is beautiful laid out and shows victorian style lace knitting in modern projects. It also the first knitting book that I am actually 'reading'. The second book I was recommended is Heirloom Knitting and whilst I have only had a quick flick through - it looks more like a work book that you can use to help produce your own lace heirloom projects - all in all I am really pleased with my purchases - and its all thanks to the girls at Angel Yarns! Now all I need is a nice stormy afternoon with an old black n white film so I can snuggle on the sofa with hot chocolate and my books!
