Seems like every shawl I clicked on for a closer look was from Knitted Lace of Estonia. I noticed this happening last week too. I thought to myself- I'm going to get that book. I stealthily ordered it (and a couple of others)- it was during school hours.
After ordering I looked at the rest of the patterns in the book on Ravelry. Imagine my surprise-there was something there I had already knitted. A scarf named "Raha." Oh, I thought to myself- that must have been published somewhere else.
Magically-thanks to the power of memory loss and too many knitting books to keep track of- the book was at home when I got there. Yes- now I will have two Nancy Bush's Knitted Lace of Estonia. I'm not sending it back. I'll send it to whoever emails me and says, "hey- I'd like that book." (blts At windstream DOT net) And if nobody wants it, it goes to Yarnhog because I know how much she loves lace knitting! (mwah hah hah hah!)
This Could Be Yours!
(once I get it from Amazon!)
eta-never underestimate the quickness of a Yarnhog- she's the lucky recipient!

Actually, I really want it! I keep thinking about buying it, but it's kind of hard to justify, considering my long-standing hostile relationship with lace knitting! E-mailing you... ;)
I had my copy over a year before I finally braved it and tried something--the leaf and peacock tail scarf--much easier than i expected. enjoy!
Grr I should have read the whole post before emailing. Stupid me.
I'd like the book, but if Yarnhog needs it and wants it, then it should go to her. Besides, I would actually need to finish something and we both know the odds of that are slim;-D
I've heard that is an amazing book. Good for Yarnhog.
