Inside you'll find:

• Delineator Leaf Lace Edging to Knit by Nancie M. Wiseman - Re-create the knitted lace edging from a 110-year-old notebook from Miss. Blanche Beau.

• Kntited Lace, Fluted Design with Eyelets by Mrs. Mae Young - In thread, this makes a most attractive trim for centerpieces, pillow-slips, scarfs, and other articles for household use. It is also a desirable design for working with yarn and can easily be made narrower or wider, as preferred.

• A Lace Edging to Knit by Mary Frances Wogec - The borders of lace are worked in garter stitch, while the center stitches are worked in alternating five-row bands of stockinette and reverse stockinette. This creates a lace that gives the effect of ruffling or pleating but doesn’t require blocking, making it a perfect edging for household linens or clothing.

• Meteliza Scarf to Knit by Inna Voltchkova - Inna used the traditional triangular shape from the earflaps for the scarf, along with traditional Orenburg lace knitting techniques and motifs—yarnovers and knit two together and mouse-print and cat’s-paw motifs. It looks much more complicated than it really is!

• Christening Bag to Knit and Crochet with Broomstick Lace by Karen E. Hooton - A christening tradition from the east coast of Scotland and my childhood memory of that tradition were Karen's inspiration for this bag.
