The Lacy Knitting
of Mary Schiffmann is an eclectic collection of lace patterns
and short stories about knitting as told by Mary Schiffmann to Nancy
Nehring. Schiffmann was one of the founding members of the Lacy
Knitters, a national guild for lace knitting, and she made collecting
lace patterns her life's work. The book begins with Schiffmann developing
her knitting skills as the daughter of missionaries in Japan, then
continues with further anecdotes and memories from a life of knitting.
Each interesting episode is accompanied by a lace pattern that Schiffmann
collected during her fascinating life. The patterns are presented
with both row-by-row instruction and in charted form. Projects include
towels, handkerchiefs, a sweater, and a christening gown.
