Yvette’s books are always excellent. They’re intelligently and thoroughly written, beautifully illustrated, full of clear and easy-to-grasp instruction and wonderful finished projects.Smøyg: Pattern Darning from Norway is no exception!I think the book will appeal to surface and counted embroiderers alike. There’s something so mesmerising and satisfying about working darning patterns with the simple running stitch, and producing things that are striking and complex! And what stitch could possibly be more accessible than the humble running stitch?The book will certainly also appeal to needleworkers who have a specific interest in costuming, in regional embroidery, in embroidery history, and in Norwegian and Scandinavian techniques.It’s definitely worth adding to your bookshelf!
