A tour de force treatment of one of the greatest knitting traditions. Miller's passion for the subject is equal to her skill in explaining how traditional Shetland lace is made - and how dedicated knitters can knit it themselves. I learned how to knit lace from this book, and treasure it. Worth

every penny.

Heirloom Knitting is extremely well-researched, with lots of wonderful in-depth information on the history of Shetland Lace. It contains a few beautiful and intricate patterns, as well as a stitch dictionary to help you create your own. Sharon Miller's instructions are clear and easy to follow,

which makes the shawls a pleasure to knit.
