Shelda's Adventures with Lace

Finding the Ervik books

I realized after another trip to Pinnsvin Design to see if there are any new lace books that it is somewhat difficult to find the Ragnhild Falch Ervik books from the English pages. If you scroll to the bottom of the "books" frame, you get a link to the Norwegian books, but that link opens into a small frame. Try here instead: http://www.pinnsvindesign.no/Strikking.htm. You'll need to go back to the main English language page for ordering details (unless you can read Norwegian, of course!)

I have also had very good luck ordering books from Martina at Bastel- Hobbykiste in Germany. I don't really understand how to navigate their site, but I just email Martina and ask my questions, and she is unfailingly helpful! They also stock the Estonian Lace book, Pitsilised Koekirjad, a stitch dictionary type book with lots of lovely patterns that I have not seen elsewhere. For some help with the symbols in that book, see my translation page.

I've been so grateful to find these books and have reasonably easy access to ordering them. Happy hunting!
