Birgit Freyer was born in 1962 and thus still belongs to the generation where girls got their “proper” handicraft lessons. She later studied design and worked as a freelance web designer and lecturer active in adult education. After years of letting her knitting skills lag, she started knitting again 20 years ago. She always worked out her own designs, and when asked about them by friends and others, she began to write out the instructions. For 15 years now, she has made her patterns available at www.die-wolllust.de.

Reviews for Lace Knit Shawls, Sweaters, Socks & Hats: 26 Designs Inspired by Japanese Stitch Patterns

"Freyer, a prolific German knitwear designer, turns her attention to lacework in the style of Japanese stitch patterns. With this collection of more than 20 patterns, knitters can closely customize projects to their desired size with her advice for adjusting the number of pattern repeats or increases, rather than just following a given set of directions. Clear, comprehensive instructions for techniques, including those specific to lacework, such as insertion of lifelines and blocking with wires, are accompanied by easy-to-follow drawings and photographs with plenty of contrast.--Judy Poyer ""Library Journal, October 1, 2022"""
