Love the Lace Scarf pattern and went out and got the yarn. When I started to to knit the pattern from the chart, I got confused. Do you read the chart right to left on every row, or read it right to left then left to right. Can someone please help me? Toni

Loved the video, it was a big help. I have started a swatch and am ready to knit the scarf. However, I'm alittle confussed about which needle to use. The instructions say to use a size 4 and a size 6 needle, but they don't say on which parts of the scarf you should use the 4 or the 6 needles. The pattern is clear and easy to understand, and I've enjoyed knitting my swatch however, it's a little frustrating that the designer neglected to instruct the knitter as to which needle size to use for the center and for the border. If anyone knows please let me know.

Thank you, thank you for showing how to do nupps! That section of my stole is coming up (not too soon yet!), and I'm delighted to see how to do it. I knew you were supposed to leave the loops loose but didn't know how to achieve that; now I know. Thank you!

Loved the video!! Nancy makes it look sooo easy! Is the Lacy jacket on the mannekin available in the new book? I can just see lengthening the pattern and wearing it over a winter white empire formal.

Knitting the nups looks like fun. Thanks for teaching me another new technique.

I learned this technique on the Swallowtail Shawl. I found a trick someone posted about using a smaller needle for purling back the nupp's. That works too, but I'm going to try doing them much looser on the next go 'round too. Great post for us lace-aholics. Thanks!

The 'Summer Shawl' I made from Piecework in 3 (no joke) days! It was super fun, easy and the most beautiful shawl ever - the lilly of the valley did it for me! I have the book and will highly recommend to anyone who loves lace like I do! Carole F., Marietta, GA

I love the video - it was very helpful. I bought and read Nancy's book over the weekend and it is gorgeous! I've bought yarn for one of the shawls already. Nancy's patterns are clear and easy to follow. The construction techniques are very helpful as well. Wonderful! Amy E.

How awesome to find this here today!! I had the pleasure of spending the day with Nancy today learning how to make traditional Estonian mittens. I also took a class with her on Saturday learning how to do traditional Estonian lace @ the Make One Yarn Studio Knittiing Retreat. Don't be intimidated, it is really worth learning how to do. The nupps are not difficult once you get the hang of it - just remember to knit them loosely. I hadn't knit lace before this weekend but found the history of Estonian traditional craft fascinating. Nancy is extremely knowledgeable and talented and her lace book is just beautiful. She brought many, many samples of shawls, stocking, gloves and mitts with her to the retreat. It was a fabulous experience! Now I just have to practice the techniques....
