The first in acclaimed knitwear designer Nicky Epstein’s Essential Edgings collection, Knitting on the Edge introduces knitters to over 350 edgings, borders and trims. This beautiful volume contains a wealth of individual project ideas for ribbed edges, ruffles, lace, fringes, flora and garters.
Epstein uses swatches to illustrate the edgings, along with gorgeous color photographs and line-by-line stitching instructions. Crafters will find ideas for a variety of skill levels, some simple enough for beginners and others challenging enough for advanced knitters. Decorate cuffs, finish hems, and customize your own unique sweater. Develop distinctive styles and patterns using ideas such as the feather lace ruffle, bel epoque, garter stitch weave, sea scallop edge, sugar drop and more.
Ilene Cooper at Booklist was surprised that “a book on a specialty topic like edgings could turn out to be as useful and lush as this one.”
