This lively introduction to the ever-popular craft of needlepoint, otherwise known as canvas work, is refreshing in its non-traditional approach. Splendidly clear, easy-to-follow instructions and illustrations take the reader step by step through a variety of techniques, demonstrating each new set of stitches with an interesting and attractive project. Some are very simple, others require more planning and experience; some feature pretty, traditional ideas, others (including several jolly ideas for children) are up to date. First Steps in Needlepoint is an excellent guide both for the beginner wanting to explore the variety of possibilities the craft offers and for the more experienced craftswoman interested in extending her technique and willing to experiment.
