Lacy Little Knits: Clingy, Soft & A Little Risque

This book is well written, easy to follow and contains unique, feminine patterns to choose from. I'm glad to have it in my knitting library.

Lacy Little Knits by Iris Schreier

Beautiful unusual patterns - a pleasure to knit. Difficult to get any of her yarn in Australia. Mostly have to order from USA which makes them expensive.

Love Lacy Little Knits

This is one of those few books where I'd like to knit almost every single design in it! Lace made for any occasion and everyday wear.

Lots of winners for American knitters

I met Iris once when she came to my town (in Israel) and she was knitting something for this book so I knew I wanted to own it and I am really pleased with it. Many of the items are very appealing to me and most of them are quite simple to make. Instructions seem to be very thorough with all the information I need except for one thing: the yarns called for do not have listed anywhere their weight category in the knitting standards and in addition many of the items call for using 2 yarns together so if you have to substitute and I have to, then I must go by the gauge. This means a lot more work for me. All of the yarns are made by her husband's company and because it is American and the postage has become impossible for international sales, I can't recommend this book to anyone outside the western hemisphere. Five stars anyway because it's a lovely book.

Iris Rules!

Iris does a wonderful job with design and yarn specs. I am never disapointed by her books, yarn or support when I have a question. Talk about a book with personal service! I am anxious to get going on projects.
