I have other books by Ms. Epstein and love them all. Beginner knitters might be intimidated by the seemingly complicated projects, but they are all just combinations of knit-purl-yarn overs that every knitter knows. I believe with practice even a novices can use this book. The book has beautiful photographs of finished applications and easy to understand directions. There are also some projects to knit that are designed around using the finishing details illustrated. I look at these finishing details before I begin a project so I can plan to incorporate them into my finished project. Just a wonderful guide for all knitters.
This is the second in Nicky Epstein's series about edge treatments you can use for your own designs. The cover is beautiful enough to make you look through it, and if you do, you'll want it. Indulge yourself. You'll find endless uses for it, and it's companion volumes--Knitting On/Beyond The Edge--as well as her Knitted Embellishments. Just a note: there is now an edited version of the three volumes (On, Over and Beyond), and while I'm sure it's nice, you'll want the full version. There's nothing in these that you want to lose. And since you'll likely get all three of them on eBay for what you'll pay for the abridgement new, why miss out on the extra goodies?
For an intermediate knitter, this book has fantastic ideas for how to embellish your knitting, with everything from borders, to stitch ideas, to embroidery. Beautiful pictures, easy to follow instructions. If you're looking for patterns, you'll want to go with another book, but if you're looking for something to take your knitting to the next level and add a distinctive look, this is perfect.
I saw it advertised in a magazine and the cover picture caught my eye. it is a beautiful book, wounderful ideas, easy to follow,I love it. Ordered her other book "On the edge", it is also great. Easy for us OLDER ladies to understand and follow. I am very pleased with it. It would make a great gift.
When I saw the knitted roses on the cover, I knew this book was for me since I love flowers! Another fabulous book by Nicky Epstein with beautiful photographs and detailed instructions. My book arrived in very good condition.
