Review:

Feb 11 A no-nonsense guide to finishing techniques for knitters of every level. It includes a line up of teachers and designers known for their skill and knowledge as expert finishers in the industry.

You'll never look at zippers the same way again and treasure this book for its wealth of information and use it as a reliable source for all of your finishing. * Machine Knitting Monthly * Dec 10 Here's a book you'll turn to again and again - you can rely on it to help you finish your projects properly - it won't let you down. Discover the art of pockets, hems, seams and facings, and become a dab-hand at buttonholes, rather than just avoiding them as many knitters do! There's a section at the back of the book with five patterns to help you practise what you've picked up. So now there are no excuses for unfinished projects languishing in your knitting bag. * Knit Today *
