Practically every knitted project needs an edging, and with her hit knitting reference, Knitting on the Edge, Nicky Epstein took the humble traditional rib to new heights. She now proudly presents a companion volume that's equally informative and rich in designs. Knitting Over the Edge takes the craft further, with more than 300 unusual edge combinations and shapings that will add a special, unique touch to any piece. The striking patterns will keep knitters of every level busy experimenting with different types of ties, loops, knots, braids, twists, bobbles and more. The topics explored in depth include cords, appliqués (such as flowers, leaves, hearts, and geometrics), color work, and a host of truly extraordinary corners, angles, bindings, and closures. A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club.Knitwear designer Nicky Epstein has gained nationwide recognition for her informative workshops, her distinctive and innovative work, and her whimsical sense of style.

Knitting on the Edge, Epstein's first collection of more than 300 decorative borders for knitting, is now joined by Knitting over the Edge, a collection of new border treatments that can be used for edges, used as decorative elements, or incorporated into the overall design of a garment. Each design comes with instructions and an illustrative full-color swatch. Patterns include unusual rib designs as well as cords, appliques, and a large section of stranded and intarsia edge treatments. Five illustrative projects (e.g., a beautiful beaded floral wrap with intarsia borders) complement the book. An excellent choice for large public libraries. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
