Got the lace bug? Here is a cute lace bookmark to make from a bit of hand knit lace edging and ribbon.

Antique Satin and Lace Ornament makes a stunning heirloom gift and remembrance for the holidays. Fine lace knitted edging and pearl seed beads suggests the look of an antique ornament. This special edition for the Bits of Lace series includes both written and charted instructions.

Finest pure white Ulster 100% Irish linen handkerchief with narrow 1/8" hem and decorative hemstitching. 10½" square. Exquisite true Irish linen is worth your money and time to make an heirloom for someone special.

This handkerchief is ready for you to embroider or add your own handmade lace edgings. The narrow hemstitched hem makes the ideal basis for a crocheted, knitted, or tatted lace trim.

In its elemental form, lace is just holes arranged in a pleasing pattern. I think that what makes lace design so intriguing beyond just the holes is the texture that complements the lace. The slant of the compensating decreases, and other twists and turns of the stitches in the fabric create an extra dimension of interest. (The picture shown is from Kitty In Your Lap Towel.)

Split toe tabi socks to wear with thong sandals, or just because! Thong Socks have a split between the large toe and the rest of the sock, and are often referred to as tabi socks after the sewn version used in Japan.

Includes distinct shaping for right and left feet, with separate big toe. The resilient slipped stitch 3,2 cuff ribbing extends down foot, then completely around the instep and arch, to make these socks extra form-fitting and comfy.

These low-top socks feature an intriguing lace pattern that curls this way and that way down the cuff, then continues along the top of the foot. Since the cuff is very short, these anklets can be made successfully with inelastic fibers like silk and cotton without fear of sagging.
