 for details. 

"One primary goal of the event is to encourage everyone to “stitch it forward” by teaching at least one newbie to yarn-craft and experience its feel good benefits. Whether people prefer to knit it, crochet it, spin it, weave it or bomb it, the goal is for every yarn-crafter to share their know-how and love of yarn with someone new on October 15th"

Treasures

Mary Elizabeth's lace no. 10

from Mary Elizabeth Greenwall Edie's 1935 hand made book.

(more info Piecework, May/Jun 2016:  A Treasured Knitted-Lace Sampler Book)

 The Annual Lace Issue of Piecework Magazine is a favorite of mine.   This knitted trim (photo above and below, front and back) pattern was from a hand made book.    The book has samples and hand written instructions.    The article has photographs of some of the pages - would be great to knit all the samples!!!
