Sinopsis

The craft of Shetland knitted lace-making involves fine openwork knitting, used to make shawls, stoles and collars. These were considered luxury items because of their fineness, complexity of design and the length of time required to make them. This book reveals the historical knitted lace swatches held by The Shetland Amenity Trust, together with instructions for how to recreate them. Each lace pattern includes written knitting instructions, a photograph of the original sample, together with a photograph of a modern knitted swatch, together with the knitting chart. The book is a must for anyone with an interest in lace knitting, historical knitting, knitwear design and the Shetland Islands.

    Creating a wildlife habitat garden is a rewarding way to connect with nature and contribute to the well-being of local ecosystems. Whether you live in a city, suburb, or rural area, designing a garden that supports birds, butterflies, and other beneficial creatures can bring a sense of peace and harmony to your space. The importance of wildlife habitat gardens has grown over the years as the natural world faces unprecedented challenges, such as habitat loss, climate change, and pollution. By planting with purpose, you can play an essential role in reversing these trends and create a sanctuary that supports biodiversity. 
    The primary focus of this book is on two of the most beloved and visible wildlife groups—birds and butterflies. These creatures not only provide beauty and joy to our gardens but also contribute significantly to the health of our environments. Birds are critical pollinators, seed dispersers, and pest controllers, while butterflies are essential for pollination, helping to fertilize plants as they move from flower to flower. Both species are also vital indicators of ecosystem health, and their presence can signal a thriving environment. 
    Designing a garden that attracts and supports birds and butterflies requires more than simply placing a birdbath or planting a few flowers. It involves understanding their needs and the role plants play in supporting these creatures through every stage of their life cycle. From providing the right types of plants to offering shelter, food, and water, every element of your garden will need to be carefully considered to create a balanced, thriving habitat.

    The Mountains Are High - a year...

    What is it like to radically change your life? Writer Alec Ash meets the Chinese who are doing just this, ‘reverse migrating’ from the cities to the remote countryside of southwest China ? and joins them himself, in an extraordinary and inspiring journey of self-discovery. 
     
    In 2020, Alec Ash left behind his old life as a journalist in buzzy Beijing, and moved to Dali, a rural valley in China’s Yunnan province, centred around a great lake shaped like an ear and overlooked by the Cang mountain range. Here, he hoped to find the space and perspective to mend heartbreak, and escape the trappings of fast-paced, high-pressured city life. 
     
    Originally home to the Bai people, Dali has become a richly diverse community of people of all ages and backgrounds, with one shared goal: to reject the worst parts of modernity and live more simply, in tune with the natural world and away from the nexus of authoritarian power. It is into this community that Alec embeds himself, charting his first year of life in Dali among these fascinating neighbours, from political dissidents to bohemian hippies. 
     
    The Mountains Are High is a beautifully written, candid memoir about how reevaluating what is really important and taking a leap of faith to reach it can genuinely transform your life. As one of the ‘new migrants’ tells Alec when he arrives: it is easy to change your environment, far more difficult to change your mind.

    Following his hilarious introduction to Paris in French Like Moi, Midwesterner Scott Dominic Carpenter returns to the scene of the crime with more tales of intrigue. 
    This time, though, the story starts with sorrow as Carpenter's wife struggles with dementia. Humor may be the best medicine, but even the antics of a vandal in their building can’t cement the tiles of her memory for long. Before he expects it, the author finds himself alone in a capital that is also blighted by the pandemic. 
    It’s against this backdrop that the city comes roaring back to life. From bizarre encounters on the Metro to comical clashes with authority figures, and even a quixotic battle against a flock of migrant parrots, Paris Lost and Found unveils sides of the great city that are as quirky as they are authentic. With his unique blend of wit, insight, and wistfulness, Carpenter charts a path through his new labyrinth of solitude—only to emerge on the other side, squinting into the bright light of hope and new beginnings.
