Complete guide to the work-table : containing instructions in Berlin work, crochet, drawn-thread work, embroidery, knitting, knotting or macrame, lace, netting, poonah painting, & tatting, with numerous illustrations and coloured designs
A Victorian needlework manual published by E. Harrison in London in 1884, collecting instructions in Berlin work, crochet, macramé, lace, netting, knitting and tatting for home needleworkers. The wood-engraved plates render stitch samples and border strips as dense black-on-white lattices, knotted fringes and looped grids, usable as repeating patterns, textured fills and rule-like edging bands.
