About this title

From the Publisher:

Simple Stockinette stitch projects are the perfect backdrop for embroidery or embellishment AND you don't have to be an expert at either to achieve beautiful results. Just enjoy knitting your project, then you can bead it, fringe it, smock it, applique it, crazy quilt stitch it, or embroider it with thread or yarn to make it dazzle with more detail and design ideas than you could do with just knitting. Here are over 30 projects to inspire you to add to your knitting.

From the Back Cover:

Techniques include bead embellishment, 3-dimensional applique, crazy quilt embroidery and Swiss darning. There are also over twenty illustrated embroidery and embellishment stitches.
