Weldon's Practical Needlework, Vol. 7 (Weldon's Practical Needlework Series)

The "practical" knick-knacks you can make from crepe paper--lampshades, flowerpot covers, holders for their feather dusters--are truly astonishing. As with the previous volumes, this one includes numerous projects to knit and crochet, and many are indeed fanciful such as an adorable "Baby's Glove in Brioche Knitting," a sweet toy lamb to crochet, and a little vest knitted in one long piece and folded like origami. Ecclesiastical embroidery is presented, as well as exotic Japanese-inspired bead and bamboo curtains.
