The latest in a continuing series of photo guides, these books feature full-color photos of techniques with examples and practice projects. Veteran knitting and crochet teacher Hubert ("Knit or Crochet: Have It Your Way") has dozens of stitch samples clearly pictured and charted. Schmidt, owner of a design firm, shows how to use commonly available ribbons to achieve professional-looking decorating results on clothes and accessories. These two guides will be useful for crafters beginning to experiment with ribbons and other fiber-crafting techniques in mixed-media projects.
