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 first thing I noticed about this book, and it is hard to miss, is that it is upside down inside it's cover.

The book has to be turned around to the back and upside down to be read in the correct order. This alone makes it a relatively rare book besides being mildly amusing.

Quoting from the back cover (as usual)
" 201 knitting motifs, blocks, projects and ideas at your fingertips"

"Contains 150 stunning knitted blocks, ranging from the simplest of basic stitches to more intricate advanced blocks"

"Features 51 specially designed projects showing how to use the blocks from blankets and throws to hats, scarves, gloves and other accessories"

"Includes hints, tips and basic techniques".

The above is all in quotes, I did not write it, I write better then that. It is somewhat lackluster a description of the books contents but let's get into it (turning the book upside down, I am already on the back cover).

There is a lot of content in here, many, many styles and ideas for blocks. There are the directions for blocks with each letter of the alphabet and each number knitted into them, that might be useful.

There are knitted blocks with embroidery added to them. There are tone on tone blocks, pattern blocks, picture blocks. There are many photographs and graphs/charts, all in color. There really is a lot of knitting ideas in here.

There is even a cute knitted purse with beading incorporated in the knitting, a block folded in half with a zip top.

201 Knitting is a large glossy cover paperbound book. Published by CICO Books in 2010, it has 176 pages.

ISBN # 978-1-907030-72-7

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.
