Knotty but Nice!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Little Book Of Parterre And Knot Gardens In French Knots (Milner Craft Series) (Hardcover)
This is a delightful little book that takes the French knot beyond dotting the "i"s in your embroidery. The instructions and illustrations are clear. The patterns offer enough of a challenge to satisfy the experienced stitcher without frustrating the beginner. Because the patterns are small (most under 4" X 4"), you're not likely to get tired of doing the same stitch over and over - you can probably finish one in a couple of evenings.

Little Book of Parrterre and Knot Gardens in French Knots,
By A Customer
This review is from: Little Book Of Parterre And Knot Gardens In French Knots (Milner Craft Series) (Hardcover)
It is truly a "little book" without a great deal of information or inspiration to offer. I would not have purchased it if I had seen the book first. I would not suggest it to anyone with any experience in needlework.
