Knipling by Karen Trend Nissen
This is the first book in Karen's series on Knipling.

In this book, she looks at the basics of lacemaking from choosing your bobbins and pillow set up to starting your lacemaking and builds to patterns for enthusiastic beginners ready to move to her second book; Knipling 2.

What works well?

The book is clearly illustrated throughout with clean photos, line drawings and diagrams, some of which are in colour

Anything that we need to take into consideration?

Whilst this book is in Danish this should not prove an issue for those who do not speak Danish, check out my post on translations
