Simply Elegant Knitted Lace

Knitted Lace Class Description

Even the simplest lace patterns look impressive and invite awe

Knitting lace is easier than you might think – even the simplest lace patterns look impressive and invite awe. In a series of skill-building activities together with inspiration from lace knitting past and present, you will learn to knit lace with confidence and pleasure, compile a sampler reference workbook and design your own beautiful lace scarf.
