Synopsis
Compiled by an acclaimed knitwear designer and teacher, this collection of 350 knitted edgings, borders, and trims runs the gamut of styles and offers something for all tastes. A wealth of individual project ideas are featured for ribbed edges, ruffles, lace, fringes, flora, and garters. Color photographs accompany each of the designs, which rely upon readily available yarns and which come complete with line-by-line stitching instructions. 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 much more.
“[This] embraces a love for detail. You'll turn to these pages time and time again.”—Vogue Knitting.

February 06, 2006: It's not just a sweater when there's embellishment and--let's be frank--'flair' on the edges. 'Knitting on the Edge' is the quintessential guide to seeing, learning and executing many different forms of edging including fringes, cabled edges, decorative edges and more! In fact, I've knitted for 20 years and have never seen most of the edges displayed in this book. Nicky Epstein, as always, provides clear, concise instructions, and plenty of colored phototgraphs help move the swatch from the pictures of the book and onto your finished products. A great resource manual and a tremendously timely tome. I would highly recommend it!

September 19, 2005: This is a very useful book. I knitted an edging for a pair of slippers the very first day I bought this book home. I'm definately going to get the follow up 'Knitting over the edge'.
