EXCELLENT REFERENCE BOOKS - & VINTAGE PATTERNS

I love this set of books. They are very handy. There are great step by step instructions, with photographs. Its easy to learn from these books. If you want a knitting and crochet reference you cant beat this, especally at the price. It covers most areas of crochet and knitting, and has some unusual stitches that are hard to find elsewhere. Some of the patterns are very dated. But most are still very useable with different colour scemes, and yarns expecally the new feathers yarns. Photocopy the pattern I find it easier to see the true pattern this way, if you take out the horrible colours sceme you can see the pattern is very nice. There are some amazing patterns. Like the liquorice allsorts cushions, realistic looking knitted vegetables. The homemakers section has some very handy patterns, like teddy bears, patchwork quilts etc. The instructions are simple and easy to follow. The sewing intructions look very useful, i am not a sewer so i cant review them. But i highly recommend this set (buy the whole set you will use them)

Dated, but a keeper!

I purchased this 20 volume set over a period of time, finally completing it a couple of years ago. While the styles are dated, the how-to information is not. It has really great step-by-step instructions, with great color photos, to help you learn to knit, crochet, sew and embroider, etc., As a crocheter, I refer to these volumes more often than I thought I would! The stitches and techniques demonstrated do not go out of style, even tho the featured garments might have. And, even having said that, some of the knit and crochet items are timeless styles as well. I reccomend these volumes for anyone wishing to expand their needlework library, and for anyone wanting a nice way to learn to knit or crochet or even sew.
