I this volume...Lacy motifs crocheted together to make an elegant tablecloth. Complete pattern and instructions for sewing a baby's hand-smocked dress. Embroidery for knitting, and a stockinette-stitch jacket to knit and trim. Plus much more...13 lessons, 28 projects. (from backcover)
while I wouldnt necessarily want to make any of the projects in here, they are a lot of fun to look at! the real treasure is all the little tips throughout the book, many of which I havent seen mentioned before, and all fairly well explained. definitely want to try get hold of the rest of these books somehow, and I’m keen to try some of the tidbits I have just learned.
I'm going to call this one the smocking issue, with two different projects, a smocked baby dress and smocking on knitting. Other projects of interest include an introduction to cross stitch with a sampler design, crochet lace tablecloth and fisherman knit sweaters. Lots of other crochet, sewing and knitting projects.
