Dillmont's Encyclopedia of Needlework is a treasure I inherited from my grandmother in 1989. I never knew that there were so many aspects to needlework. I finally discovered that I was really good at something. This was my introduction into whole new world. Until then reading was my only hobby. Last year, I happened upon Split Ring Tatting. I realised even if I learn about needlework to my dying day, there would still be a lot of things I'd never even heard about.

Instructions for Crochet Edging From DMC Crochet 6th Series Mod 19
This is a pattern from the DMC Crochet edgings book. An interesting pattern, that needed a lot of thinking. I liked it mostly because the picture looked like an old fashioned necklace. Figuring out the terms used was a real challenge.
