Book Review of Knits from the North Sea: Lace in the Shetland Tradition

Knits from the North Sea: Lace in the Shetland Tradition


I just received this book , after having it on my wishlist for a long time . it is a colourful book , along the line of coffee table books. many nice glossy pictures . instructions are limited , just a bit of writing and the rest in charts . I like charts more than written instructions , so this is a plus for me . precursor instructions at the beginning of the book are [ I guess ] sufficient for the projects in the book . where I part friends with this book , are the projects . there are 16 projects in various levels of difficulty . none of these scarves , stoles and squares tickled my fance in so far , that I went ohhh or ahhh ... I really don't like any of them , which is the reason for me passing this book . I have found more exciting and pleasing projects on ravelry or even on drops designs ... so its not the book , its me . someone else would probably get all excited and make every one .
