Hello! I'm back with another book review!
Congratulations to Juliana, last weeks giveaway winner!
This week I'll be reviewing Knitting Over the Edge by Nicky Epstein. This book has been around for awhile, but is a great one! I'm happy to share it with you!
Knitting over the edge is the second in Nicky's edging book collection. The first book was titled Knitting On the Edge and the third in the collection is Knitting Beyond the Edge. I love and own all three!
Nicky Epstein is probably the most inventive knitwear designer I can think of and I feel that these edging books just cannot be beat. The first 2 books contain 350 different knitted edges.. EACH! 700 total in the first 2 books. Who can even think up 700 edgings? Amazing, right?
All 3 of these books are excellent reference publications that every knitter should have in their library.
I refer to them all of the time. They provide me with constant inspiration.
Here is what you can expect to find in this particular book, Knitting Over the Edge.
This book contains edging designs broken up into 5 different categories.. Unique Ribs, Cords, Appliques, Colors and Nouveau.
Below are some pictures to give you an idea.
There are also some garment patterns included that utilize some of the edgings featured in the book.
It's jam packed with information. There is something for everyone inside.
If you would like to enter to win this brand new copy of Knitting Over the Edge, please leave a comment under this blog post. In your comment please include your contact information and please remember only one comment per person please.
I'll announce the winner next week with another book review, so be sure to check back!

Does "oh my!!!'qualify as a comment if you stretch it out long enough? This stuff is amazing. Even if I never actually used a single pattern I would probably pull this book out and just drool over it like I do with my collection of Kaffee Fasset books!

I love the whole concept of this book. Many is the time when I like a pattern for something but not the edge treatment. And being a fairly new and self taught knitter, I'm not knowledgeable enough yet to figure out how to do something different. this book would solve my problem!
