Knitting Lace Triangles by Evelyn A. Clark
I haven't played with triangular shawls much yet, but I love them because they drape around the shoulders so much more gracefully than rectangular stoles. This book sounds like it would be good for anyone who wanted to get started knitting triangular lace shawls, or (even better) for those who want to move from knitting from patterns to designing your own.
The short 70 pages are jam packed wtih information that is organized to help you design a triangle using four simple lace stitches. Bonus material includes tips on using transition rows between patterns, selecting materials, correcting mistakes, and joining yarns (always an adenture in lace). Line-by-line instructions and charts are included.
The author says:
"This book is organized to help knitters design their own triangle using four simple laces: Flower, Leaf, Medallion and Ripple. Each lace can be used alone or combined with any or all of the others."(pg 6).
Here are a couple of detailed reviews from people who have already seen the book.
