Reprint of 1896 edition. Formerly titled "Varied Occupations in String Work."
Condition: Good used ex-lib with usual but minimal library stamps and markings; some wear to covers, some rippling on bottoms of pages through pg 28, no writing or marks other than library.
From the back of the book:
"This book by a well-known British educator who successfully taught macrame and knotwork to generations of future Victorian housewives, is one of the basic books on 19th-century string techniques, including netting, knotwork and macrame. Designed for self-study, it is extremely thorough and clear in its descriptions of techniques and processes, and profusely illustrated with both technique-diagrams and pictures of interesting objects that can be made. It is also unusual among craft books in being graded or progressively arranged..." (This book goes from basics, gradually working up to elaborate projects.)
"To list only a few of the items that you can make from this book: knotted tassels, bead curtains with wooden beads, wall pockets, netted bags, flower baskets, string picture frames, curtain pulls, letter racks, dinner mats, knotted boxes and many other objects involving netting, knotting, plaiting or macrame. There are also, of course, a wide variety of techniques and designs that you can follow to make your own personalized belts, straps, ties, scarves and similar material."
