New Designs in Lace Making by Kristina Malmberg and Naime Thorlin

• Originally published in Swedish, this book is more of a curiosity of how lacemaking has evolved rather than a book that you need to have in your collection.
• There are a few colour pictures, but most of the diagrams and photos are black and white
• It does promote a wide use of colour and the use of different threads to get unusual effects.

What works well?

• Lots of discussion on how to use lace in non traditional ways

Anything that we need to take into consideration?

• It can be hard to work out whether a line drawing is the diagram or the pattern ... of if a a pattern is included at all.
• This book is out of print, but is available from most online book outlets
