Volume 2 features handsome knitted stockings, including a unique 3-color “Berlin” pattern for men, and lacy silk ones for women; a knitted harness for lively children is a real head-scratcher.

Embroiderers will find lovely cross-stitch motifs and a crewel primer, as well as, elaborate patterns for macramé.  ISBN: 1-883010-82-9.  9" x 12", 144 pages, hardbound.  $30.00  #239002

In addition to the knitted and crocheted heirloom treasures found in all the Weldon’s volumes, this one introduces both tatting (edgings and doilies galore) and beadwork. The latter includes embroidery techniques, smocking, netted edgings, unusual trims, wire flowers, knitting, buttons, and a mosaic weaving technique worked with the aid of a cardboard device that doesn’t appear in contemporary bead literature. The “Practical Stocking Knitter” chapter is a primer of heel and toe techniques, and includes a method for replacing worn sock heels.  ISBN: 1-883010-94-2.  Hardbound, 9" x 12".  $30.00  #239004

Lovely, delicate crocheted edgings, extensive designs for Mountmellick embroidery (a sturdy, handsome white-on-white work), tasteful hemstitchings and drawnwork, and some innovative knitted seed-bead trims can be found in this volume. But there are also patterns that explain why women then were prone to fainting spells and hysteria; a barrister’s wig in puff knitting; knitted undersleeves, shoe covers, and dickeys; an alarming Bulgarian headdress; a bag for holding lemons, a billiard pocket, and (believe it or not) ear caps for horses.  ISBN: 1-883010-95-0.  Hardbound, 9" x 12".  $30.00  #239005

Weldon's Practical Needlework, Volume 7WELDON'S NEEDLEWORK BOOK 7, from Piecework Magazine.
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.  ISBN: 1-931499-18-7.  Hardbound, 9" x 12".  $30.00  #239007

Hardbound, 9" x 12", 152 pages, 250 original line drawings from the 1800s.  $30.00  #239031

Weldon's Practical Needlework, Volume 9WELDON'S PRACTICAL NEEDLEWORK, VOL. 10, from Piecework Magazine.
Those Victorians are at it again! Volume 10 offers exquisite appliqué embroidery; lots of crocheted edgings, insertions, and even baby rattles; hairpin-crochet edgings; a wide array of knitting—from a really cool knitted tassel to adorable booties for baby; an entire section on pincushions (who would have guessed you can make a pincushion out of a beechnut?), sections on beginning point lace and beginning ribbon plaiting; and last but not least, “practical leather work.” This volume is a cornucopia of ideas!  Hardbound, 9 x 12, 152 pages, over 200 black and white illustrations, ISBN 1-931499-48-9.  $30.00  #239136

 

Volume 11, Weldon's Practical NeedleworkWELDON'S PRACTICAL NEEDLEWORK, VOL. 11, from Piecework Magazine.
Okay, most of us are not going to attempt the bent iron work that opens this volume of Weldon's in spite of the editor's statement that "bent iron, as opposed to wrought iron, is admirably adapted for amateur skill..."! But just turn a few pages and you'll find an amazing variety of fun things to create, including more than 140 projects to crochet or knit. Some of the knitted socks in this volume are spectacular—nothing Victorian about them! The man's crocheted vest worked in moss stitch is fashion-runway worthy. The beaded archway curtain is fabulous as are the torch on lace trimmings and the point lace collars. The bent iron work notwithstanding, this volume will bring hours of enjoyment.  Hardbound, 9 x 12, 152 pages, more than 200 black-and-white illustrations, ISBN 1-931499-49-7.  $30.00  #239137

One entire section is devoted to what Victorians called waistcoats—we call them vests—in knitting, crochet, and canvaswork. To add some spice, some beautiful white-on-white Mountmellick embroidery, drawn-thread work, and smocking is also included.  Hardbound, 9 x 12, 152 pages, more than 200 black-and-white illustrations, ISBN 1-931499-78-0. $30.00  #239138
