Part of my crafty witches binge is a
little out of print book called Magical Needlework. It written by
Dorothy Morrison. This book covers everything needle related that is
practice in our modern age. Dorothy has created a chapter for sewing,
quilting, embroidery, knitting and crocheting. With each chapter
covering basic stitches and including easy projects. With a basic
knowledge of each craft you will more then be able to tackle any
project in the book.
Magical Needlework actually takes you
out of the creation of finished project and into the creation of the
supplies. The last chapter is all about spinning, weaving and natural
dyeing. I found this chapter very interesting since all three of
these arts I practice. I would have like to have seen this chapter to
be better written. There are some statements that need to be revised.
So I would recommend if your are interested in learning any of these
arts. You would do better with getting books written of only those
subjects.
Other than the last chapter I found
this book to be a wealth of knowledge. I have even made a project
from it and am going to start a second. As I have mentioned it is out
of print but not unattainable and purchasable at a decent price. So I
do recommend this for the lover of needle arts you will enjoy the
project and gain many ideas.
