Crazy Lace Hankering

I want to knit doilies - preferrably intricate, and the ones I'm tending towards are in German (and by Herbert Niebling). I don't know German - I know Italian and English with a side of French and Spanish. As my mom says, I love the crazy :)

For those of you on Ravelry, this is what I'm looking at right now (mom, I'll show you when you visit next weekend):

Niebling patterns:
Nadelblatt
Mallins 44
Frosted Ferns
Lyra
Hannelore
Schleuderblatt
Gloxiniaeflora
Handarbeitschnitt 44 (not in Ravelry - link to purchase)

Others:
Egeblad
Coronet Design
Azalea Design

Most of the Niebling patterns would need to be sourced - any recommendations?

EDIT: I credit Julie over at Samurai Knitter for introducing me to Niebling designs.

Hey hey hey. I deny ALL RESPONSIBILITY if you get sucked into the vortex of doily knitting.

Hope you enjoy it, and let me know if you have questions. :)
