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.

I know this is odd but I always like the word Handy in the title of an instruction book. I have no idea why.

The subtitle for this "handy" book is Basic Designs in Multiple Sizes & Gauges.

A (partial) quote from the back cover "More versatile and useful than standard pattern books, The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns features easy to follow charted instructions for the most popular knitted items-socks, mittens, gloves, hats, tams, scarves, sweaters & vests-all sized from baby or toddler to large adult, all written for multiple gauges to work with every weight of yarn, from fine to bulky, plus a detailed glossary of techniques for beginning to advanced knitters."

(that might be the longest run-on sentence ever, a new top in the number of commas).

Indeed, this book is both a pattern book and a knitter's reference book. In paging through the book, there are many lists and (I am not sure what to call them) references to use for sizing and gauge etc.

Each of the 8 patterns listed has many of these expanded lists (I still do not know what to call them, she calls them charts but they are not charts as I imagine charts)

Yes, this is and will be a Handy book.

The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns is spiral bound with a hard cover. There is a (handy) elastic book mark to keep your place and a sleeve on the inside back cover to store your notes.

Published by Interweave Press in 2002, it has 112 pages.

ISBN # 978-1-931499-04-0

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.
