It seems we lost Barbara Walker yesterday. Knitter extraordinaire and her books are marvelous. I own most of them, especially her stitch reference books.

@smp @woozle @EEDeGroot Ahyes, I've seen that style before... I even crocheted one once. Alas, but I no longer can crochet on a large scale (stupid wrists) but I actually did some toying around with a lace pattern in one of Barbara Walker's Stitch books about a decade ago & never did anything with it.. but I actually kept notes on what I did and I think it'll be easy peasy to replicate these in large amounts :D

The lace pattern is called Traveling Vine from her first Treasury of Knitting Patterns.
