Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intricate, beautiful, and delicate, the ancient craft of knotted lace handwork has traditionally passed from person to person. This simple needle lace involves making loops of different sizes, shapes, and lengths and then combining them to form extraordinarily graceful designs. Here are easy to follow techniques and patterns, taught to the author by her Greek mother-in law, for pretty lacy doilies, collars, Christening gowns, and more--all surely destined to become treasured heirlooms in the years to come.
