for lively children is a real head-scratcher. Crochet patterns include unusual
outerwear stitches such as Point Battenberg and edgings that incorporate rick-rack.
Embroiderers will find lovely cross-stitch motifs and a crewel primer, as well
as, elaborate patterns for macramé. ISBN: 1-883010-82-9. 9" x

WELDON'S NEEDLEWORK BOOK 7,
from Piecework Magazine. The “practical” knick-knacks you can make from crepe
paper—lampshades, flowerpot covers, holders for their feather dusters—are
truly astonishing. As with the previous volumes, this one includes numerous
projects to knit and crochet, and many are indeed fanciful such as an adorable
“Baby’s Glove in Brioche Knitting,” a sweet toy lamb to crochet, and a
little vest knitted in one long piece and folded like origami. Ecclesiastical
embroidery is presented, as well as exotic Japanese-inspired bead and bamboo
curtains. ISBN: 1-931499-18-7. Hardbound, 9" x 12".
