Clones Lace - the story and patterns of an Irish Crochet
Maire Treanor
Tells the social history of the crochet lace-making tradition of South Ulster, Ireland, when thousands of women and children, through their crochet, kept their families from famine and disease. Many young women travelled to Dublin to train in design and then taught it in the west of Ireland. The lace-making industry declined as fashions changed and machine-made lace became more popular, in the early twentieth century. The second part of the book shows beginners how to make the traditional motifs and patterns, and includes a gallery of recently made items, listing which motifs they used so that you can copy them if you so wish.
Anyone with an interest in Irish crochet will appreciate this addition to their pattern libraries.
Second Edition, revised and reprinted by Lacis Publications in 2010. Contains new information and more pictures than the original.

Custom Knits: Unleash Your Inner Designer with Top-Down and Improvisational Techniques
Wendy Barnard
Starts with an interesting “reality checklist” where you assess your shape and size, your stash and the pattern you want to knit. Then learn which are the crucial measurements to ensure a good fit, and how much ease to allow. Instructions to make your own dress form! Chapters on basic shapes: top-down raglans, top-down set-in sleeves, and round yoke sweaters are followed by “Design on the fly” using any yarn for any garment; the final chapter deconstructs top-down sweaters and provides formulae for designing your own and/or changing elements of a commercial design. Well presented, easy to follow, gradually builds your confidence. Excellent value.
