This 176 page softcover book was published in July of 1999. It contains listings of free things you can find on the Internet for knitting, machine knitting, embroidery, cross stitch, needlepoint, plastic canvas, beading, crochet, tatting and lacemaking, rug making, spinning, weaving, fabric dying, and braiding/knotting/tassle making. This is a good book and I do find myself referring to it quite often. It is also a very valuable reference to have when your computer dies and you lose all of your Internet bookmarks! By having this book, you will be able to rebuild your list.
