Finishing Techniques
for Hand Knitters:
Give Your Knitting that Professional Look
by Sharon Brant
|
An otherwise finely crafted piece of hand-knitting can often be spoiled by the
finishing details. Now you can learn the shortcuts—and even more important, where
not to cut corners. Starting with reading patterns and instructions, this invaluable
guide then explains the different ways of casting on and off and the importance of
shaping and sizing. It shows how to sew a variety of seams, provides methods for
each type of stitch, and explains how to create perfect buttonholes, button bands,
and necklines. Finally, a section on decorative detail shows how to add beads and
other embellishments, while the trouble-shooting pages tackle those annoying
problems that occur when things have gone wrong. An invaluable companion for
beginners and more experienced knitters.
