I have two copies of Complete Encyclopedia of Needle-works. One copy was purchased in the 1970 in a used book store. I recently purchased the updated version from 1987 at a quilt show sale table. Although, not all inclusive of all needlework techniques this book tries to include every one of them.

The text is a little dry but the illustrations are sufficient enough to allow a person to learn how to do some of the techniques. I have used many of them over the years. Several detailed patterns are included.

Techniques in the book:

Tatting
Knitting
Crochet
Multiple Embroidery Techniques
Netting
Macrame
Open work
Needle made laces

If I come across another copy of this book I will probably buy it ... I need a copy for the cabin up north.
