For my money the best new lace book in recent months (years) is Jane Atkinson's 'Contemporary Lace for You'. I even paid postage to get it before Lace Guild Convention as I wasn't sure if it would be available there. It was - along with Jane and some of the lace from the book.
It's not a book of patterns but there are a few sample prickings and explanation about how she designed the various pieces of lace and about the various threads and yarns she uses. Add to that superb full colour photographs throughout the book I think it's a must have for anyone interested in modern lace. http://www.contemporarylace.com/html/books.htm Brenda On 14 Apr 2011, at 16:22, [email protected] wrote: > I am sure that information about new books is as essential as > knowing about new threads or new lace days.
