Estonian lace consists of elegant and unique stitches inspired by nature. Knit a stitch sampler as you learn these beautiful traditional patterns including Lily of the Valley, Birch Leaf, Twig and “nupps”. Donna will share the history, construction techniques, cast ons, bind off and lace edging. Reading charts, working the stitches, finishing and blocking will be covered in detail. Participants will leave with a pattern for a full size shawl.
