Book Review – Lovely Lace Knits

I recently purchased the Kindle book “Lovely Lacy Knits: Beautiful Projects Embellished with Ribbon, Flowers, Beads, and More” and I am absolutely in love with it! The author does a fantastic job of showcasing a wide variety of delicate lace knit patterns for scarves, shawls, fingerless gloves, slippers, and socks. Each pattern is accompanied by beautiful photographs that truly capture the romance and femininity of the pieces.

One of the things I love most about this book is the emphasis on embellishment techniques. The author provides detailed instructions on how to use a variety of techniques, including sewn and beaded accents, to give your knits personalized flair. This is perfect for those who, like me, love to add a bit of personal touch to their projects.

I also appreciate the fact that the book offers projects for a wide range of skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced knitter, there is something in this book for you. The patterns are well-written and easy to follow, making them accessible to knitters of all skill levels.

Overall, I highly recommend “Lovely Lacy Knits” to anyone who loves to knit and is looking for unique and beautiful patterns to add to their collection. The author does an excellent job of showcasing a wide variety of delicate and feminine pieces that are sure to be the focal point of any outfit. This book is a must-have for any knitter’s library.

Why should the fireplace get all the fun? Instead of knitting stockings this year, why not whip up a pair of Christmas themed socks? These Christmas sock knitting patterns are lots of fun to make and you can wear them to holiday gatherings for years to come.

For our friends in the southern part of the world, there are the Christmas in July socks from the Kiwi Lodge – Kylie (Ravelry link). These shorty socks are covered in Christmas trees and have bright pink heels and toes for a tropical feel. There’s also an option to make a longer sock if you celebrate somewhere it’s colder.

Twin Stitches Designs (Ravelry) has a fun pattern with mix and match colorwork motifs you can use to build your own cozy Christmas socks. From the sample socks I see Christmas puddings, trucks hauling trees, Santa belts, ornaments and a couple of different borders. There may be more patterns included but the listing doesn’t say. Make a pair that matches or use different motifs on each foot for extra holiday cheer.

If you want to stick to Christmas puddings on your holiday socks, check out this cute pattern from Stone Knits. These lovely socks feature a band of puddings around the leg and a bit of holly by the toes.

These vintage holiday light socks from Grey Owl Knits by Sarah are classic looking and lots of fun at the same time. I love this color combination but of course you can make your lights and stripes whatever colors you like or have on hand. They’re worked using stranded knitting.

And if you’d like even more of a mix of patterns for your socks, try Barbara Ceglédi’s Christmas Chaos socks, a free pattern on Ravelry. The pattern includes 25 little motifs you can choose from, ranging from snowflakes and Christmas trees to elf hats, reindeer and hearts.
