Knitting Over The Edge: Unique Ribs, Cords, Appliques, Colors, Nouveau
There is no better indicator of a craft's resurgence or ascendance than the number of new books devoted to the subject. And although knitting's revival has been in the works since the beginning of the millennium (if not before), this new innovative book signals a more sophisticated knitter in the making.Epstein never disappoints. Her retinue and reputation expand with every book, fromKnitting Hats(1997) to this second command performance (given the phenomenal kudos forKnitting on the Edge). It is simple, really, in this ultimate collection of more than 350 different choices for ribs, cords, appliques, colors, and a type callednouveau. Document it via a color swatch, easy-to-understand directions, and stitch repetition information. Then practice it in a breathtaking handful of patterns, such as a knockout circus circle scarf to a showstopping cozy coat with fur-ball trim.
