Finishing Techniques for Hand Knitters

"Finishing a garment successfully involves everything from choosing the appropriate methods of casting off to adding a zipper, and this essential guide for hand-knitters provides advice and instructions for every situation and type of finishing. Most patterns readily available to hand-knitters give instructions on how to knit the item but not necessarily how to finish it--which requires techniques that take time to master. This book also offers tools to put new skills into practice using a few classic design projects, and readily prepares knitters to access the limitless potential and versatility of well-executed finishing techniques."--Publisher description.
