The Lace Knitting Palette (2011): Elegant Lace You Can Build, Practice, and Wear
Lace knitting has that “instant heirloom” look—yet so many knitters hesitate to start because it feels complicated. The Lace Knitting Palette (2011) by Catherine Thomson is the kind of book that bridges that gap beautifully: it begins with lace foundations and then guides you into finished projects that look polished and feel wearable.
What I love about this book is the structure. Instead of only offering big statement pieces, it gives you the building blocks first—trims, edgings, technique practice, and samplers—so you can gain confidence, learn how lace behaves, and then put those skills to work in accessories, wraps, and shawl-worthy designs.
Inside the “palette”
- Trims & edgings: perfect for adding lace to garments, linens, and finishing details
- Technique practice: build confidence stitch by stitch
- Samplers: a satisfying way to learn motifs and repeats
- Accessories & wearables: lace you’ll actually reach for
- Wraps & shawls: refined pieces that show off the beauty of knitted lace
Price: $7 + shipping to US & CA
