Link works! I feel like we're crosspollinating the awesome this month.

Mmm, imagine all the awesome knitting plants we could make with this crosspollination. I think it would be like the Audrey II, but with less man-eating and more booties.

Very cool! The Lambert book you have in your google library is, I think, one of the ones that was used as research material in Victorian Lace Today.

Really? That's pretty awesome. I've looked at projects from Victorian Lace Today, but I've never looked at the book itself. Internet reviews seem to indicate that there are a ton of errors in it, which I guess is pretty much par for the course for a lace book based on Victorian knitting manuals. :P

Yeah, I hate it when new knitting books have lots of errors. But I like Victorian Lace Today for the pictures alone. They have some lovely photos that they took in Cambridge, England.
