"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
