Borders. I like knitted borders where you pick up on one side for the body and have searched in vain for a book of lace borders! Anyone know of any? I love LilyAnna by Dee O'Keefe.

I like the knitted on borders, too. Sharon Miller and Elizabeth Lovick both have lace knitting books with those kinds of borders in them. Once you grasp the idea, you can mix and match and come up with borders of your own. Then you have to do the math and figure out how your design will fit onto the garment. That's where I get lost!!! The MATH!

Lilyanna's border was extraordinary, but I like the other knitted on borders that Dee O'Keefe has used, too.

Dragonflylace,
I could sit and look at Nancy Bush's book on Estonian lace for hours. One of these days I'm going to get brave and knit a shawl with nupps in it.

Oh, THANKS! I will check them Out!

Have you tried the modified triangle like this one? This is Dee O'Keefe's "Mayapple." She's done others, too.

It is it my library!

Thanks to this topic and responses I know Shetland Borders is a good Ravelry search. Have looked up all the designers mentioned and bought some stuff! Also, found freebees! I am new at lace and these comments are good helps!
