NieblingLaceKnitters is a group of knitters with the enthusiasm, stamina, skill, and/or blind determination to attack the designs of Herbert Niebling. Many of his patterns present unique technical challenges that aren't found in other lace designs and the instructions are often scanty at best. Do you really "rest" on an uncharted resting row? What kind of surprises are you going to get when you up-gauge a pattern originally written for Nr.100 thread on 1.5mm needles? But the results are *always* worth the effort, they are some of the most intricate, complex lace pieces ever designed!

Finding Niebling patterns is very difficult and very little of his work is in-print at the moment. However, please remember that selling or sharing photocopies or scans of copyrighted patterns is illegal and that Yahoo can close the group down if there is even a whiff of impropriety. Offers or requests to buy, sell, or share pirated patterns are not permitted on-list. Also, please understand that this is not a general lace knitting group. We hope you'll help us keep the group focused on Niebling lace by avoiding off-topic posts :) Otherwise, enjoy!
