Goddess Knits Pattern Book
We’ve incorporated designs to suit every knitter from beginner to advanced and included everything from gorgeous shawls and scarves, to hats and socks. There are even a few accessories like the Market Bag and the Handfasting Ribbon.
We hope this book will act as inspiration for you to continue your exploration into goddesses around the world and perhaps to dip your toes into the waters of a new craft: painting, drawing, glassblowing, papercraft, flower work, sculpture, culinary art, or photography. There are many ways to touch the magic of that universal tapestry. We hope by working the designs in this book, you can do just that.

After I finished my Arctic Lace Knitting Book, I finally allowed myself to explore the world of lace knitting and discovered that is is much more varied and elaborate than I could have imagined. Around the world and over time, knitters in different countries and regions have developed unique styles of lace knitting that range from easy-intermediate (like the knitting of the Oomingmak knitters) to advanced-insanely- difficult (like some of the Victorian patterns designed by English knitters). Other lace styles are used in Estonia, Russia, South America, Lithuania, Germany and Austria, and New Zealand. I’m sure there are even more, but these are the styles I’ve explored so far. – Donna Druchunas –

Have you ever wondered why some people can read charts easily and others find them incomprehensible? The truth is, charts are written in a code that can be deciphered by knitters who learn the symbols on the page and in their knitting. Charts do not use arbitrary symbols, but each symbol includes the instructions on how to make the indicated stitch! In this class, you will learn the secrets of interpreting chart symbols for texture and cable stitches.
