Title: Celtic charted designs
Description: Sometimes referred to as "the work of the angels" because of their elaborate spirals, interfacings and knotwork, Celtic designs have long been used to create fine art. Their distinctive patterns have appeared on stone and metalwork, in jewelry and on magnificent illuminated manuscripts. Now , the enduring beauty of this ancient art form is available in a collection specially designed for those who love to do embroidery and needlepoint.

Divided into four basic sections, Celtic Charted Designs contains step, fret and key patterns, spiral work, knotwork and biomorphic patterns (designs with images resembling forms of living organisms.) Patterns range from simple step motifs to ornate, highly stylized elements modeled after animal and plant life. Most designs are suitable for creating lovely needlepoint pillows, cross-stitch pictures, latch hook rugs, knitted or crocheted garments, woven fabrics and much more.
