Victorian Lace Today
Victorian Lace Today (Hardcover)
by Jane Sowerby

I returned from Stitches Midwest last week and I am still processing all the information…From new ways to do knit braids, and teaching techniques to remember. There were New yarns and colors I am thinking about for sock club.
I took classes from Nancy Bush for the entire week… I had never done it that way before and it turned out to be a good idea.. You get use to a way of teaching and sometimes that makes it easier to process through new projects that are presented. I took Estonian Lace, Vintage Socks, and Knitted Braids which I loved… some new twists to add to my knitting. The Market was good as usual, and I shocked myself, I bought 2 knitting books and NO Yarn … I still can’t get over that one myself, NO Yarn!!! The Student/Teacher dinner on Saturday night was very enjoyable . Some of the Students modeled beautiful Lace shawls and scarves…….. breathtaking work. I know they were inspired by Jane Sowerby book, Victorian Lace Today.
