Step-by-step Needlecraft Encyclopedia

This book is everything you ever want to or need to know about any kind of needle craft. Great book. It was a gift to me and I got it for my daughter.

Excellent

I teach textiles at an arts college ... have numerous books on needlearts ... yet once I saw this book, knew it was a great resource for me, and for learners. It's clear, the photographs are terrific, the step by step instruction is well done. Its an excellent teaching tool and visual reference.

Buying it again!

My copy got water damaged and I am buying it again. I love it! It really gives you the foundations to work with so you are not always having to use a pattern that cost you $20....With this book you can create your own knitting and sewing patterns (my main interests) and learn a little bit of everything (and a lot of everything) so you never fall short (ie: I can't crochet, but a knitting pattern I had called for crochet so I had to learn a bit & this was the place to learn). Great for beginners and advanced needle crafters. (I also love the Vogue Knitting: The Ultimate Book)

Best needlecraft reference I've found

This is the best reference book I've found for explaining all kinds of needlecrafts. I use it often and have to keep it in a handy place. The information is well-illustrated and the instructions are clear. I highly recommend it for anyone who multi-crafts!

A true omnibus

This book helped me learn to knit in particular, although that's only a fraction of what it contains. But since that's my area of experience, just let me tell you that practically any sort of knitting I decide I want to tackle, there's something in this book to send me on my way, with a treasury of stitch patterns for textures, cables, and lace, advice for working in the round, working in color, everything I could ask for, and that's just the knitting section!My one complaint is that in some ways, at least the edition I have is a bit out of date: it referred to fingering weight yarn as "4-ply." Still, a small price to pay for such a useful book.
