Review by Library Journal Review

Knot work often conjures up images of 1970s macrameplanters 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. (c) Copyright 2011.
