Reviews

"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
