The phrase "Knitting with Lace" is a bit
misleading as rather than knit using the lace instead of wool you still use the wool,
however, you knit the Lace in with the wool.
These patterns are very simple patterns, and easy to do. The wire coat hanger also has the
benefit of using up those dry cleaners coat hangers that seem to breed in the wardrobe. It
turns them into a useful item and stops the way that they put a line in the trousers or
slacks that you hang on them.

Before you start, turn under one hole of the lace and count the number of holes that you require for the first row of lace. Mark with a pin. Count the holes on the other side of the lace. The number may be different. The excess holes can be used up by missing a hole in so many stitches on the longer side
