Reseña del editor:

This book provides a wealth of information on the traditional arts of crochet and knitted lace, with a particular emphasis on their place in the modern world. Few people realise the simplicity of these crafts, which can be easily taken up by the beginner, or the extent of their versatility, which ensures that they can be adapted to projects of all shapes and sizes. In her introduction the author gives a brief history of the subject, also explaining how to imitate antique items to create your own heirlooms and how to repair their exisiting pieces. Chapter two gives guidance on how to work the basic stitches, all of which are accompanied by clear step-by-step diagrams. Choosing thread and yarn, crochet hooks and knitting needles and using charts for crochet and knitting are all covered in detail. The practical section of the book is made up of 20 projects, each of which has comprehensive instructions and a full-colour photographs to show what can be achieved. The projects range from a bedspread made up from groups of crocheted square motifs to a delicate dressing table mat with a windmill pattern. Suggestions for other designs and laternative stitches and techniques are also included with the projects in case you want to try something different.
