Book excerpt: 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.
