I'd wanted to try stumpwork for ages and had on e of the Jane Nicholas books for Christmas a couple of years ago. I found it useful, but admit I haven't done very much stumpwork after all; I like to sew or knit while watching TV, and find that stumpwork requires too much concentration to be suitable for that. I ought to invest in some period sewing kit and do it in a living history context.

If you or anyone else on the list has: what did you think of them for a beginner?
