Here's the $10,000.00 question. Can anyone name a GOOD book that gives
directions and explanatory pictures of MOST if not ALL needle crafts? I
have learned petit point, and tatting. But I would like to learn
cross-stitch, knitting, crochet, Irish lace, bobbin lace, french knots,
embroidery,.....well, you get what I mean. I have found several good
books on each of these subjects individually, but I would love to know
if there is such an animal as one single book that lists them all?

Find a copy of The Reader's Digest book or the McCall's book - I think both
are "Encyclopedia of Needlework" or similarly titled.
My McCall's is from the late 50's, my RD is from the late 70's and I won't
part with either!
