Anne Merrow has created a beautiful book of knitted lace patterns, all gathered from issues of Interweave magazine. The book has a sectiion on the infinite possibilities of lace, along with sections on yarn sources, but the bulk of the book contains patterns. These patterns are spectacular. Some are charted and some are written out. Most appear to be charted. I prefer to knit from written patterns but I may be in the minority.Looking through this book, I am grabbed by several patterns:The Arctic Diamonds Stole designed by Donna Druchunas is gorgeous. It calls for fingering weight yarn and is knit in a beautiful orange hue. It was originally published in the book Arctic Lace.Swallowtail Shawl by Evelyn Clark is knit in a bud lace pattern that calls for laceweight yarn. It is knit in an off-white colorway and drapes beautifully over the shoulders.Fountain Pen Shawl by Susan Pierce Lawrence "goes literary in this triangular shawl, which features a motif of a classic fountain pen nib". It is knit with laceweight yarn in a lovely pewter color.Forest Path Stole by Faina Letoutchaia is based on Russian traditions and those of the Shetland Isles. It has three lace patterns - fern, birch leaves and lily of the valley - knit in entrelac.Qiviuk Webs Tam and Scarf by Gayle Roehm is knit with a yarn close to my heart. There is nothing as light and as warm as Qiviuk.Sprinkled through this book are 'lace lessons': A Primer on Knitted Lace, Casting on and Binding Off, and Shaping Lace Garments.Overall, this is a must-have lace book for any knitter who loves knitting lace. It is definitely not for beginners. Most of the patterns are for advanced intermediate or advanced knitters.

I live in south Florida and most knit patterns are too hot for anytime. This has some that are perfect one top I have mad 2 of them now my granddaughter wants one too. Sizes aren’t that small (shes 6) but it looks like I’ll be able to resize it and I’m not an expert

This appears to be a very well written book with a large variety of lace styles. Patterns are interspersed with tips on knitting lace and easy to follow instructions. Can't wait to actually knit something.

This book was a great surprise. Many easy to knit but not patterns that you see repeated in every book. Does everyone knit socks? The patterns in this book will allow for relaxing knitting. They are not meant for beginners but the directions are written in a style that will let you understand what and how to knit every pattern. Wish I could locate more like this book. And I have a large book collection. But I will not purchase another book that wants me to knit socks. Bobble, bobble, and more bobbles. Bobbles are great however if you do not have a good knitting teacher in your environment you will bobble in frustration. Dr. Patricia J. Gray

As an avid lace knitter I am always looking for unique, innovative patterns and this collection is loaded with them. Not only are there beautiful patterns but there is extensive commentary on techniques and process. My favorite is the lovely Forest Path Stole which is the most unique variation on entrelac I have ever seen. A lovely book for serious lace knitters.

This collection is just okay... some pretty shawl, and a couple of interesting things, but there are way too many scarves and tiny shawls that only an elf could wear... Many of the designs are too simplistic and rather boring. Too many geometric designs, (I prefer something more elaborate) and the wearable shawls are very basic. I had hoped for something more creative from Interweave... sigh, this goes on the bookshelf.

I do like my favorite patterns or designs or inspirations collected, and hate to tear up magazines, so this is a great book for me. Favorite designs means that regular people can knit them, not just major masters of the art.

I purchased this book essentially for just one shawl pattern that I really liked but found another pattern that is interesting.
