The wait is finally over for new lace designs from popular author Carol Rasmussen Noble! Now she's joined by renowned Shetland Island lace expert Margaret Leask Peterson, and together they make lace knitting pure joy. This collection is worked exclusively in lace-weight and fine yarns in a palette that includes gorgeous jewel tones as well as neutrals. Knitters will find a variety of projects, including shawls, stoles, scarves, and triangles. Along with the patterns for 16 projects, the authors share a wealth of lace-making knowledge and techniques gained over decades of plying their needles.


If you want to knit something romantic, something thoroughly light and feminine, and something that will be passed on, this is a very good book to inspire you.


There are classic points such as the famous cockleshell and more demanding jobs that assume a certain skill and experience. The Shetland islands are famous for their laces made with very thin yarns and with extremely openwork and impalpable processes. Brides' shawls owe their merit to the fact that they go through a wedding ring. Knitting patterns are often inspired by nature, marine subjects such as shells, woods and animals. This book offers good examples of this type of work without being very difficult.

FOR U.S. BUYERS, I AM HAPPY TO COMBINE SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE AUCTION WINS AT THE COST OF POSTAGE PLUS 25 CENTS TO COVER HANDLING AND MAILING SUPPLIES.

 

FYI: 

I take a great deal of pride in offering good products....products that I would want to buy myself, at reasonable prices with excellent, careful packaging and some of the most cost effective shipping on Ebay.

 

I send your packages to you based on a simple formula -- one of the best on EBAY.....the actual cost of the shipping plus 24 cents for delivery confirmation.  This is for single items or multiple item packages.  Delivery confirmation lets you KNOW that I have shipped your purchase and we both know if and when it has been delivered.  I charge nothing extra for my time or for my packaging materials.  I buy bubble mailers....not the cheap ones, but quality envelopes that protect against rough handling by the USPS and most often gets your book to you in the same condition as it was when I shipped it out.

 

 I most often offer at least two shipping options....one that is fast and a bit more expensive and one that is slower and "cheap."  Since I primarily sell books this is usually media mail.  Media mail by USPS definition, on average takes 3 - 9 business days.  If it is a busy time of year, a big box or a destination that is further than most, it can often take longer than that.  I ship out within 24 hours of payment (or the next business day if it is a holiday or weekend).  I often go to the PO twice a day.  That is all that I can do to help insure timely delivery for you.  PLEASE KNOW -- I have no control over the time it takes the USPS once the package leaves my hands.
