The Art of Netting

Rating:
Summary: A very useful and informative book!
Review: This book is an excellent introduction to the art of decorative netting. Different netmaking tools, materials, and knots are introduced for the beginner, and many reproductions of published projects from the late 19th century are presented for more advanced practitioners. Projects for doilies, edgings, mats, and filet lace are included, as well as some items of Victorian clothing (fichus, mittens, purses, shawls, etc.).

Some of the projects could have been improved with the addition of more modern commentary or clarification, but on the whole it is a very good book for anyone wanting to learn more about the more decorative aspects of net making!
