From the book: "Many lace patterns can be adapted to vertical insertions, and these are fun to work with. Different vertical insertions can be combined side by side in the same garment, just as different cables are combined in a fisherman sweater, and they can be packed together very closely to produce a lace garment of magnificent and intricate beauty. Lace knitting of this sort is hand knitting at its finest; no machine knitting could even begin to reproduce it. To work many lace insertions together, simply chart your work as in a fisherman sweater (see Special Note on Designing Fisherman Sweaters), using markers if necessary to keep the panels in order. These four are simple insertions which may be used singly, combined with other patterns, or any one of them can be repeated over the whole fabric for an allover lace."Collection
