Each of these can be knitted in any thickness of yarn while you get used to the techniques. Chapter 2 is the pattern section. You can choose from any of the 15 shawl patterns to start. With learning all the techniques in chapter 1 you are capable of making any of the shawls in the book. Each of the patterns has full instructions with photographs and charts. And although you have learnt all the techniques the patterns are also marked with the concentration level so you can choose one of the easier designs or one of the more difficult. I can honestly say that each of the designs are amazing. If you are used to making holes etc. in knitting patterns I am sure these are something you could achieve. The book even says beginners can have a go. Elizabeth has brought her knowledge together and put it in a format that is easy to follow and takes the fright out of Shetland Lace Shawls.
