Mira Silverstein Guide to Looped & Knotted Stitches on NewNeedlepoint

NewNeedlepoint.com is a labor of love. I began my web store with the idea that I would build the kind of Needlepoint Web Store where I would like to shop.
I love color and I admire good design. My goal is to sell the best Needlepoint Designs, Books and Accessories I can.
I have a extensive selection of wonderful Hand Painted Needlepoint Canvases & Kits by some of today’s fine Needlepoint Designers including Danji Design, Laurel Burch, Eileen Best and many more.
NewNeedlepoint.com has a large collection of Needlepoint & Bargello Needlepoint Books. Most of the books are Hard-To-Find used books, some are quite Rare. Some of the books are maybe not so rare but are classic Needlepoint or Bargello Needlepoint Design or Reference Books.
I have picked out the best condition Books I could find, which is not as easy as you might think.
NewNeedlepoint has two new categories: NEW Needlepoint Books & NEW Bargello Books. These are direct from the publisher or distributor current Needlepoint or Bargello Needlepoint titles by some of today's well-known authors.
There are more to come.
NewNeedlepoint.com specializes in Beginner & Novice Needlepoint Kits and Books. The beginner level Needlepoint Kits are scattered everywhere in my listings as well as having their own category.
The Beginner Books do not…yet…have their own category.
NewNeedlepoint.com has an extensive selection of the excellent Patt & Lee Glicee’ Needlepoint Designs. They are all available as canvas alone plus most are also for sale assembled as a kit.
There is also my small Needlepoint Tools Category. I don’t sell anything I am not familiar with, no Drop Ship here. This is where you will find Mighty Bright lamps, Laying tools, quality Gingher Scissors, DMC or Kreinik Color Cards and more.
NewNeedlepoint.com continues to change as I work to make it as good as it can be. I hope you like what you see.

Mira Silverstein's Guide to Looped and Knotted Stitches

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.
