Mira Silverstein Guide to Looped & Knotted Stitches on NewNeedlepoint

NewNeedlepoint.com has been open almost 2 years now. There have been many changes as I find my “spot” in the on-line needlepoint community.
NewNeedlepoint.com specializes in books, both new and used books. The needlepoint and Bargello Needlepoint book categories are extensive. Many of the books here are rare, some are quite rare and all have reviews I have written.
There are pictures of all the books. I find a picture of the cover sometimes tells you more about a book then any review can.
All the used/rare books have pictures of the book cover or dust jacket plus a picture of the inside pages so you can see the condition of the books for yourself.
I know it is a given in the used book market that you keep the dust jacket, no matter the condition but I find many good or very good condition books inside terrible and dirty dust jackets. In that case I remove them, no matter what the market “says”.
NewNeedlepoint.com is currently expanding it’s collection of other Needlework books. Included are Cross-Stitch, Glorafilia, Ribbon Stitching, Embroidery, Punchneedle, Bead Stitching, Whitework, Blackwork, Beginner Needlepoint and more.
I will continue to sell selected needlepoint canvases & kits including the work of Patt & Lee Designs, Laurel Burch and more. The Patt & Lee collection of Scrap Thread canvases are a wonderful way to use your extra yarn and thread stash.
The items in the small tools category is also carefully chosen. I only sell tools I have used myself.
NewNeedlepoint.com continues to change while I work to make it as good as it can be. I hope you like what you see.

This is the third copy of this book I have ordered, it is the only one that has been in any way good enough to sell here. This book is barely in good condition. The official book sellers term for it would be "acceptable". of course, it was sold to me as "good".

I am listing it in this condition because it is an fairly unique book. I know of no other book on the subject of Looped and Knotted stitches. Most books have a page or two about these stitches, if that.

it is up to you to decide about the condition.

Mira Silverstein's Looped and Knotted Stitches is a comprehensive look at these special stitches. She begins at the very beginning, threading the needle and anchoring the yarn. That seems silly to me in a book featuring such advanced stitches.

The book has 11 Looped Stitches, 5 Knotted Stitches and 11 project designs. The end is finishing techniques and information. I can find only 1 color picture in the book but the stitch guides and instructions are clear and understandable.

My Needlework Bibliography gives this book a C for difficulty (based on A for easy and D for hardest).

Mira Silverstein is a noted needlepoint teacher and author of many other books.

Published by David McKay Co in 1977, it has 107 pages.

Again, this book is in not so good condition. It is a smallish paperbound book. The covers are faded and scratched. There is a big yellow mark on the inside front cover page, like a piece of paper was there for years. The pages are yellowed at the edges and the whole book looks and feels it's age.

The best thing about the book is the spine, it has hardly ever been opened.
