Yet another reason to knit :)

This book (oo la la!)!



















I have picked this book up and put it back down in a gazillion different book stores this year. I finally realized I should just get it over with and take it home. :)



















I have a serious love for old world intricate work, whether lace or embroidery or tapestry or what have you. This book is chock full of knitting designs that are sumptuous, lovely, elegant, old world, and knock down gorgeous.



















Add some ribbon and I'm all yours.



















The photos are just beautiful. I haven't even really looked at pattern details yet - I'm so mesmerized by the photos and color and fiber. :)
