Greetings!

All the blackwork discussion has gotten me interested in learning it. What 
you all recommend a good book to learn from?

I'm obviously interested in ones with a more historical slant if there's a 
choice (unlike the one I've got).

***I need something with actually how to work the blackwork, not just a 
historical discussion (interesting, but not practical for learning). I'd 
like something with some examples to practice. I've got a couple of books 
but neither has good instructions. One has a few charts but not how to work 
it. I'm reasonably decent at needlework in general but what's in my books 
isn't enough.

I've seen the skinnersisters stuff and they had a couple books that looked 
like they might do. What is your opinions on that? Or where else should I 
look?

Thanks in advance,
Grainne Finneadan


Your life's outcome can only be determined by your choices, not those things that others choose for you. 
Joy can be found all year round. You make the choice to live a joyful life. Joy is deep inside you.
