Varied Occupations in String Work - Comprising Knotting, Netting, Looping, Plaiting and MacraméPaperback, 5 November 2012

This vintage book is a complete guide to string work, with information on knotting, netting, looping, plaiting, and macramé. Profusely illustrated and full of handy tips, this volume is highly recommended for those with a practical interest in string work and would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Simple Knotting and Cords", "Bead and String Work", "Loop Chain and Plaiting", "Cords Worked on Knotting Frame No. 1", "Button-hole Knotting on Rings", "Knotting Frame No. 2", "Exercises Upon a Fixed Foundation", "Netting", "Fringes", "Exercises without a Fixed Foundation", "String Frames", "Macramé", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on ropes, knots, and nets.
