Spring is almost here and it’s the perfect time to start thinking about lighter knits. Adding touches of lace to your knits is a great way to welcome spring. I’ve got a giveaway to help get you started. Enter below to win one of two copies of the Beginner’s Guide to Lace Knitting from Leisure Arts.
Thanks to Leisure Arts for providing the books for the giveaway!
Whether you want to make an easy edging or an heirloom doily, Beginner’s Guide to Lace Knitting by Rita Weiss is your complete guide. Learn all about making deliberate holes to form open patterns; then get started with 14 projects for a range of skill levels.
Designed for a wide range of yarn weights, these include Lace Scarf, Crescent Shawl, Coaster, Heirloom Flower Doily, Scarf of Many Colors, Lacy Hat, Lovely Lace Scarf, Delightful Doily, Lovely Lace Collar Two Ways, Fir Cone Lace, Easy Edging, Lacy Market Bag, Elegant Edging, and Winter Lace Afghan. The book also covers lace knitting tools and materials, how to make the special stitches that create lace (such as a Yarn Over and a Pass Slip Stitch Over), and how to read symbol charts.

I made a video tutorial for the Winter Lace Afghan a few weeks ago. It’s a stunning afghan that knit’s up quickly. I think it would be perfect for an heirloom gift.

I just started learning to knit a few months ago. The pattern on the cover looks so lovely. I hope it’s not too advanced for me.
