May 2015 Delicate lacy knits can transform an otherwise plain outfit into something rather more captivating and you won't be disappointed with the patterns in Eva-Maria's book. Her shawls, scarves, gloves, slippers and socks are worked in the softest of yarns. Some of the knits are embellished with beads and other accents, including one decorated with photos! There are projects for all skill levels, whether you've been knitting for 50 years or five minutes! * Knit Today * May 2015 Apart from lovely lacy knits, the patterns are embellished with ribbon, flowers, beads and more. I love the scarf on the front cover, embellished with a little fabric pocket having a personalised photograph. The book has twelve projects plus one knitted necklace. To be honest, I think the patterns work just as well without the embellishments and you could make different embellishments inspired by the book, or incorporate vintage finds giving more options. There are scarves, cowls, leg and arm warmers, a hat, socks and slippers. I like the 6 charts given for the lace scarf - they are all used in the pattern, but you could make endless variations using these. Some of the ideas are used more than once though, the pattern for arm warmers, socks are very similar. Also the skirt and cowl are using the same basic idea. Basic knitting and crochet techniques are given with close-up photos. I love the technique for decorative rolls. Great photography and easy to follow, clear instructions * Karen Platt Yarnsandfabrics.co.uk/crafts *
