- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Good reference book
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I finally got a chance to use this with my first sweater. Highly recommended, especially the chapters on seaming and sewing in zippers.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The most beautiful knit fabric will make an awful sweater if the finishing techniques are not right. There is so much information to help make that perfect project in this small book. Only 144 pages, but they are packed with information. The books starts with Nancie’s Finishing Secrets, 7 tips that only experience can teach. There are variety of cast-on methods, seven in all, and five bind-off methods. Also, increases, decreases and selvages. There are even eleven seam stitches explained! There are nice diagrams, photographs, or both for each of the techniques.Also covered is picking up stitches, borders, bands, finishes, which includes crochet edges, and so much more.This is a hard cover book with a heavy spiral binding. It has a lay-flat design for easy use so you will never lose your place.Two worksheets finish the book for planning the next project. This is a very nice reference book for hand knitters.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I was really looking forward to this book, so this review reflects some disproportionate disappointment.The book covers a lot of finishing techniques for garments. Unfortunately, I'm not currently interested in garments.The book does not cover many cast on and cast off techniques, even relatively common ones like backwards loop cast on are not covered. I have not read it carefully to see what else I need to know that might not be covered.In some places, the information covered in the book is inadequate. For example, the information on weaving in ends is short, specifically addresses how to weave ends into seams, lacks detail on how to do the weaving, and doesn't address problems of weaving in ends on pieces with both sides exposed or how to weave in ends on edges of items with both sides exposed.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A must-have reference book. Not only does she explain every single cast on, cast off, increase, decrease, etc. you might ever want to know, but she also gives you the advantages and disadvantages of each one so that you can make informed knitting choices.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is a wonderful resource for finding the perfect finishing and seaming techniques for your projects - because nothing ruins a project like a crooked seam! The pictures and illustrations are very clear and easy to follow, and the book is spiral-bound (with a hard outer cover) so it lays flat, which is extremely handy.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Just to be clear - this is a technical book about knitting, not how to kill your opponents using martial arts or Mortal Kombat.
I'm working on the second level of the Master Knitter program, and I used this book all through level one. It has a nice breakdown of when and why to use each type of increasing, decreasing, binding off, grafting, etc. and awesome illustrations of how to do them. The reason why I gave it only four stars is that it has no index, and since it's a straight-up reference book, I need that. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book - it has improved my finishing tremendously. You may think you already know how to finish a sweater, but it's very helpful to have someone walk you through the best way to do it.
