The West Coast is The Lace Knittery’s Scottish home and this book is a delightful mix of patterns and information about The West Highland Way. There is a variety of garment and accessory patterns. It is a treasure trove.
As usual a lovely book from Kate Davies Designs that not only has eleven yoked designs but also delves into the history and construction from Icelandic (The Lace Knittery stocks Alafoss Icelandic yarns) to Elizabeth Zimmermann it is a joy to read and knit from.
