This book is filled with all kinds of projects to knit in lace: shawls, sweaters, scarves, accessories for the house, purses, and even gloves.  The book provides helpful tips for knitting lace such as a crochet guide, blocking techniques, tips for washing.  There are projects varied in difficulty and some are charted and others are written out and charted both.  There are many beautiful patterns in this book, several of which I hope to knit.  My favorite is Sarah Hatton's Beechwood Sweater with two lace panels on the top of a pull-over.  Naturally, this pattern is written out as I don't do well with charts.  The Dulcie Tunic, designed by Amanda Jones,  is also beautiful, knit with a lace center and bottom on a pull-over sweater.  There are wonderful shawls in this book for those of us who love to knit these.  The designers are varied with many that are new to me.  However, their taste is sublime for the most part.
