Lace for Scarves and Table.

The book contains thirteen patterns suitable for both scarves and table runners.  For each pattern there are lovely, clear, colour photographs, with diagrams where necessary.  There are also two large, fold-out pricking sheets, with the prickings for each pattern.  The photographs will inspire use of colour, but the patterns will also be striking in monochrome.  All patterns are Torchon.
