Review on ๐Ÿ“š Gestrickte Spitzendecken: Knitted Lace Designs by Herbert Niebling, translated by Eva Maria Leszner (2009-05-03) by Kim Sanchez

Flaws make beautiful designs difficult

Nibling's designs are undeniably stunning, however some of the patterns are seriously misspelled or have been cropped to fit the pages without concern for usability. If you're an experienced knitter with a good eye for when things go wrong you should be able to handle it like I did, but beginners will be terribly disappointed. Be sure to check out Ravelry.com - each pattern has a page with other knitters who have tried it and left comments and corrections. I was about two-thirds done on the top napkin and had to tear myself away twice due to editing errors.
