With so many general knitting and pattern books recently available, it's no surprise that the ever-enlarging market would expand to include more specialized guides. But what may be surprising is the fact that a book on a specialty topic like edgings could turn out to be as useful and lush as this one. Knitwear designer Epstein offers a reference book with instructions for 350 different edgings, everything from ruffles to laces and fringes to floras. The instructions are easy to follow, but it is the amazingly crisp photographs of the different edgings executed in colorful yarns and set against pure white backgrounds that will get knitters' hearts pounding. This book is so inviting and so easy to use (simple triangle symbols explain from which direction the patterns are knit) that knitters may find themselves edging projects already in progress.

Anyone can do free-form crochet, because gauge, pattern, and yarn weight don't matter; you ignore all rules! You can make a hat, a scarf, a purse, a wall hanging, or whatever appeals to your creativity. Just mix and match yarns to crochet a variety of shapes in whatever colors and textures you wish; then glue, sew, or crochet these "scrumbles" together in a form that pleases you. You can even "reupholster" old purses, eyeglass cases, makeup bags, and pillows with scrumbles. To help you get started, designer Pamela Pease shares instructions for her favorite scrumble shapes. Once you're comfortable with the idea of fashioning your own scrumbles, have fun following your impulses to invent original designs with dimension and style!

An essential reference for knitters from novice to expert, this fully illustrated sourcebook is the first of three "stitch dictionaries," to be written by the professionals at Vogue® Knitting . Some 300 stitches are detailed, and hundreds of charts, photographs, and illustrations make it easy to understand how to construct each stitch, as well as the ways they can be used in projects. The experts at Vogue® Knitting demonstrate rib stitches such as brioche, herringbone, chevron, and quilted patterns; traveling patterns like parquet, ripple, and diamond stitches; lace, including daisy and wave patterns; and such unusual stitches as eye of lynx, bobble block, peppercorn, and bamboo. The most complete book of its kind, this is the definitive stitch reference!
