Canadian knitwear designer Vézina offers 16 lace patterns for all styles and seasons. The book is divided into four “collections” of sweater and accessory patterns, and knitters will easily find inspiration in this wide variety of offerings, from intricate shawls and sweaters to cozy socks and mittens. Each collection is themed: “Terrene” is nature-inspired, while “Hazy,” is fuzzy and dainty and utilizes fibers such as mohair and alpaca. Meanwhile, “Aerial” is designed for knitters who want to level up their skills, and the patterns in the “Luminous” collection are designed to bring joy to knitters. All crafters, no matter their skill level, will likely find something appealing in this resource of intriguing and engaging patterns. A detailed introduction provides an excellent overview for beginner lace knitters, as do stitch tutorials with accompanying color photos. Sweater patterns are size-inclusive, and most have both written and charted instructions and beautiful color photographs.
VERDICT Knitters will welcome this book. It is an excellent addition to any public library crafts collection.
