Dear Spiders,

In reply to someone's question about a recommendation for a lace knitting book, I like 
Marianne Kinzel's *First Book of Modern Lace Knitting*  ISBN 0-486-22904-1 

This book has excellent illustrations and technique descriptions. For the patterns in 
the book, she has charts as well as written instructions.  I bought my copy from 
Amazon last year for a pittance.

The 1972 edition that I have is a Dover book and written on the copyright page is, " 
This Dover edition, first published in 1972, is a corrected republication of the work 
originally published in 1954 by Artistic Needlework Publications in England.  It also 
contains a new Preface by the author."

A Dedication (by the author), "To England refuge through centuries of the persecuted, 
the proscribed, the people without a country, where my husband and I sought haven in 
exile and found most happily a welcome, a country, and a home."  This is enough for me 
to love this book!  I wonder if Mrs. Kinzel is still with us....

Happy Knitting,
Betty Ann in Roanoke, Virginia USA
