Review on The New Filet Crochet Book: Creative Designs for Cross-Stitch, Beadwork, and Beyond (1912) - Illustrated Guide and Patterns with a Fresh Twist by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Filled with patterns perfect for cross stitching

Exactly what I was looking for! I'm an older woman and I remember crocheting filet patterns that were pretty and lacy and easily turned into cross stitches. Although this is an old fashioned book (over 100 years old) the patterns (from the charts) are timeless. I want to cross stitch the frame nicely etc. and also add borders around the yoke edges of summer blouses, there are many border designs here that are perfect for that. I have a Kindle version that I can enlarge when flashing on my iPad - I'm thrilled to have found this!

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
