Edges & Hems

Edges & Hems

 by Sandy Lightfoot

TK002 $7.50. 9pgs. 17 patterns, 4 of which require a ribber. Many of the patterns have added variegations. For the standard gauge, but you can adjust rows and stitches for the bulky or mid-gauge. Notes on what each trim or edging can be used for, some have lace or ribbons added to them. This is really a great technique book. #9 is my favorite. Another must have technique book for your knitting library. http://www.sandylightfoot.com 250-423-7176
