Uneven side edges instantly downgrade any knitting project.
This is especially true for
projects with open edges
like blankets, scarves and cardigans.
I wrote this book to make sure this unpleasant issue
never happens to YOUR knits.
The book describes
twelve ways to keep the side edges neat and tidy
, starting with simple one-stitch selvedges and moving to fancier decorative edgings.
You will also discover
two ways to fix dropped edge stitches
, a simple way to
improve the side edges after the project is finished
, and the best way to
make decreases and increases without messing up
the look of the edging.
Aside from providing all this helpful information, I did my best to
make this book easy to read and easy to navigate
. The book has a
clean design
with an
easy-to-see font
placed on a
contrasting background
.
The
generous white margins
make the layout feel less crowded. They are also useful if you decide to
add notes
If you prefer to keep
quick reminders of each type of edging
in your knitting bag, feel free to
cut out Quick Reference Cards
placed at the end of each chapter. They are designed specifically for this purpose.
There are
lots of close-up photos
throughout the book to help you master each method with
no confusion
. By the time the manuscript was finished, it occurred to me that this is a kind of a
"picture book for knitters"
. I really like this concept because
it makes learning so much easier
. I hope you will enjoy it as well.
