75 Chinese, Celtic, & Ornamental Knots: A Directory of Knots and Knotting Techniques--Plus Exquisite Jewelry Projects to Make and Wear

Library Journal (05/15/2011):
Knot work often conjures up images of 1970s macramé planters and middle-school friendship bracelets, but jewelry designers Williams and Mann's encyclopedic collection of knots from a variety of craft traditions nicely reforms that image. After a brief introduction to knot-work materials, tools, and techniques, the knots take center stage. Each knot is assigned a difficulty rating, and full directions, suggested uses, and potential project applications are provided. There are a few complete jewelry projects, but the focus is on the different types of knots. This is a quality update for a collection area that often needs refreshing.
Request 75 Chinese, Celtic, & Ornamental Knots from the catalog.
