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.

Charts Made Simple by JC Briar

This book has a subtitle:
Understanding Knitting Charts Visually.

There is a recommendation on the front cover as well, from Janet Szabo the author of Aran Sweater Design " You are holding in your hand The Only Book you will ever need to teach yourself how to knit from a chart" (the emphasis is hers)

According to the back cover "Charts Made Simple teachers knitters how to read charts- and better yet, how to make the most of them"

You will learn:
to see that a chart is a picture of the knitted fabric (interesting)
to make sense of the symbols in a chart without being tied to it's key (good idea)
to use charts as guides for minimizing and recovering from mistakes (we all make them)
to handle chart "quirks"- "no stitch symbols", repeated stitches. changes in stitch count and more with ease (ease sounds good, as does simple)

This looks like a valuable book. Charts Made Simple is full of diagrams and pictures. The text is clear and understandable.

It is also an interesting shape, with it's rounded outer corners. A paperbound book published by GLass Iris Publications in 2010, it is from the Knitting On Paper Series. The book has 104 pages.

ISBN # 978-0-9830792-0-0

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.
