Weldon's Practical Needlework, Vol. 1

Rating:
Summary: Knitters and crafters will value this volume of Weldon's
Review: This vintage needlework encyclopedia is being republished by Interweave Press. The title says "Needlework" and this includes practical handsewing, embroidery, knitting, crochet and much more.

Knitters will find this volume especially appealing for the great variety of gloves, hoods, baby booties and socks and stockings. Some of the models could be useful for historical recreation. Crocheters will find bedspreads, jackets and wraps.

Those who sew will find the practical handsewing section valuable for monograms, appliqué, buttonholes, piping, hems and a number of types of buttons made of cloth.

This is the best volume so far for my interests (knitting) and the monogram section is also of great value for many applications.
