We're going to give lace knitting a try at our Tuesday Night Knitter's group. I've worked up a handout using a chart to knit the cat's paw pattern. Beginning knitters will find charts to be a fairly easy way of figuring out what stitch goes where. Lace really isn't hard once you get the idea of it. For every hole that you add (usually a yarn over) you have to take away a stitch (usually done by a decrease).
Our Sensibility Shawl is knit on US#10 needles using worsted weight yarn and a lace pattern. This is a good pattern for knitters who have some experience and want to try knitting lace.
