Description

The listing, Knitting Book - Victorian Lace Today has ended.

Never heard from winner, so I'm relisting this beautiful and useful book.
From reviews:
If you don't already have this book, I don't know why. Victorian patterns updated for today's knitter with currrent yarns. I think you will find many of the forty patterns to your taste. I know I did. The wonderful thing about knitting lace is that although it is time-consuming, it is cost effective. This is the most beautiful array of shawls, capes and fichus I have seen in one book. The photography is stunning, the pattern styles are varied - this is one knitting book you should possess. Instructions are clear and the information given on the original patterns and the pattern makers is interesting. Very highly recommended.-

This title is a must-have for knitters looking for an excellent introduction to lace knitting. It features truly beautiful and detailed photography of 40 lace knitting patterns. A real inspiration, the designs are revised from original Victorian patterns - with mistakes corrected! - and seeing the way they are presented for modern tastes and in today's delicious yarns make us want to knit them all. Each is well graded by complexity level too so you can easily gauge your project's involvement. Choose from scarves, rectangular and triangular shawls, stoles and capes. The reference section is incredibly useful too. It is a bounty of tips and tricks, and includes clear illustrative diagrams on working knitted-on borders, information on how to plan, design and calculate your own lacework project, how to read charts successfully and also handy yarn classifications and substitution ideas. The historic background notes provide a fascinating extra level of detail, and in addition Jane's revealing final pages guide us through her Victorian adventure - how she went about discovering the marvels of Victorian lace knitting and producing this delightful book.

Paperback, 192 pages, in mint condition, from my smoke free and pet free home.

Questions & Comments

Please let me know what else I need to do to receive this book. You have had the credits, and I am very keen to get started on the patterns. I have sent my shipping information via Listia email for the third time just now. Thank you for giving it your attention.

Hi there, all you needed to do was submit your shipping info within 7 days. Which you didn't until now, 10 days after the auction. I waited 8 days and checked for it or any email from you daily, until I relisted the book. Sorry! You have a feedback of 10. You're not a total newbie who didn't know what to do.

Hi! I won a book just like this from you last month, haven't heard from you since I sent my shipping info. I'm kind of new at this; what else do I need to do, please? (Emailed you about it just this afternoon, too, fancy it turning up again!)

Blessings,

On seond thoughts, since you are kinda new at this: on the auction you won, click on the "ask for a refund" button and I give you your credits back. Then you can bid again and maybe win again. :-)

I am very sorry you are angry with me. This was the first item I had ever won. Everything else had been sold. I am willing to work with you to resolve this issue. Please email me and let me know what steps need to be taken, thank you.

Alrighty, it sems we solved this! ;-)

I have done that, and will bid again as soon as the credits have been refunded. Thank you again for working with me through this, I'm really sorry my lack of understanding created such an issue for both of us.

Done, and done. Thanks again for your patience and your cooperation.
