Revised review; I stand corrected July 7, 2010
Durby (Mt. Pleasant, SC USA)
Earlier, I complained that the book had errors, based on my attempt to knit the Embossed Twining Leaves pattern on page 121. I had found the publisher's web site and its errata page, which didn't have a correction for that pattern. Moreover, a note on the page said you might have to wait some time for their response to their inquiry -- discouraging! They surprised me, however, with a quick response suggesting what might be the cause of my difficulty. They were right. No error in the pattern, but you have to pay close attention to directions, including glossary definitions. Charts might be helpful, but this pattern (and presumably others) would be difficult to chart. Most of the photo swatches are beautiful, though those in the lace stitch section done in red yarn make it difficult to see the pattern. Overall, it is a beautiful book and inspiring. I've changed my rating, based on my experience.
 Love it April 13, 2010

I have already used several of these edgings and love the simplicity and clearness of the directions
Awesome edgings that will sneak into your projects March 4, 2010
Literary Equivalent (Arroyo Grande, CA 93420)
This series is amazing -- just little motifs to add to your works to give them a designer flair. You will find that even though these patterns are all conceived as edging, you will sneak them into other types of projects: I used one of the broader edging patterns from this book to make my hubby a little business-card holder for when we are out on walks and he doesn't want his heavy wallet dragging him down. This is a big, beautiful coffee-table book type hardback with lots of glorious pictures -- my friend and I have spent happy evenings turning pages together and exclaiming "ooooh, I want to knit that!"
Wonderful Resource for Knitters! February 12, 2009
Bonnie Brody (Fairbanks, Alaska)
As an avid knitter, I appreciate this book as a wonderful resource. Currently, I am working on a large shawl that needs a delicate edging all around. I found a lovely lace picot to use. I loved going through the book and looking at all the wonderful trims that I could use on future projects.
My only criticism is that most of the edgings are too wide for what I was looking for. Sometimes I want a very narrow edging and this book does not include these. Otherwise, I highly recommend it.
Great Resource April 14, 2008
Tricia N. Welton (Breckenridge, CO 80424)
This book offers great alternatives to finish your knitting projects. The stitch directions and well written with photos of each edging included. There are even a couple of project patterns included where the edgings are used. Overall, it is a great book that gives you beautiful finishing alternatives. I think I'll consult this book a lot as I undertake new projects.
