NewNeedlepoint.com just had it’s 3rd birthday. I am sometimes amazed that we made it this far. I keep making changes and tweaking my web store. I want it to be the best it can be.

NewNeedlepoint.com has 2 sections. There is my extensive collection of New Needlework books. I have expanded the books categories to cover other types of stitching in addition to Needlepoint.

There are knitting & crochet books, embroidery & cross-stitch books, color use & theory books and the catch-all misc. books category.

My Rare/Used Book titles are dictated by the books my customers want and the books that I can get, in reasonable condition. It is getting difficult to find decent, salable old books. Some of the Rare Books are getting quite hard to find.

I have also expanded the Rare/Used books categories to cover other types of Needlework.

I specialize in Bargello Needlepoint books although there aren’t that many of them out there, used or new.

The other side of NewNeedlepoint.com is the Canvases & Kits I sell. I stock mostly hand painted needlepoint designs by some of today’s great Needlepoint Designers. I have a special category for the gorgeous & colorful work of Laurel Burch.

I also have a good collection of Patt & Lee’s superior Glicee’ needlepoint designs including a whole section of Patt’s Scrap Threads collection. The perfect way to use all that extra stash we all have.

I assemble the kits myself, from the threads I love to stitch with. I use Anchor & DMC Perle Cotton Floss in sizes 3, 5 & 8. Also Kreinik Metallic Braid Thread in sizes 12 & 16.

I have a small Needlework Tool collection, all of it things I use and know work well.

I want to thank all my customers for 3 great years, so far. This coming year should be as interesting as the last 3 have been.

The back cover of this book calls it an "essential compendium of Knitting know-how." The 200 tips & techniques are explained and illustrated with clear step-by-step photographs and diagrams".

More from the backcover, Included are:
"How to read patterns & charts, choose colors and yarns & match stitch patterns and adapt design for the perfect fit

All stitches are clearly demonstrated, from stockinette stitch to ribbing to lace, Faire Isle, cables & intarsia work.

Explains all the techniques you'll need, in the order you will need them, from casting on and joining in yarns to shaping, adding button holes, pockets and embellishments"

In paging through the book I agree with the claims made on the back cover, plus all the pictures are in full color and there are many, many pictures.

There are sections on Creative Techniques and on Assembly and more. There really is a wealth of information in this book. I am, as you know, not a knitter yet, but as far as I can tell, this looks like a useful and comprehensive book.

There is even a list of what the common abbreviations mean.

A hardcover book published by St Martin's Press in 2008, it has 160 pages.

ISBN # 978-0-312-37373-3


Selling New Books is very different from selling my used, hard-to-find or rare books. New books have a set retail price and I have to compete in the “marketplace”.

NewNeedlepoint.com will be charging the full retail price for these fine new books but I will mail them for free. Please consider the Free Shipping as a Discount.
