Neat Side Edges
Uneven side edges instantly downgrade any knitting project.This is especially true for projects with open edges like blankets, scarves and cardigans.I wrote this book to make sure this unpleasant issue never happens to YOUR knits.The book describes twelve ways to keep the side edges neat and tidy, starting with simple one-stitch selvedges and moving to fancier decorative edgings.You will also discover two ways to fix dropped edge stitches, a simple way to improve the side edges after the project is finished, and the best way to make decreases and increases without messing up the look of the edging.Aside from providing all this helpful information, I did my best to make this book easy to read and easy to navigate. The book has a clean design with an easy-to-see font placed on a contrasting background.The generous white margins make the layout feel less crowded. They are also useful if you decide to add notes.If you prefer to keep quick reminders of each type of edging in your knitting bag, feel free to cut out Quick Reference Cards placed at the end of each chapter. They are designed specifically for this purpose.There are lots of close-up photos throughout the book to help you master each method with no confusion. By the time the manuscript was finished, it occurred to me that this is a kind of a "picture book for knitters". I really like this concept because it makes learning so much easier. I hope you will enjoy it as well.

What Customers Are Saying About "The Original Road Warrior's Survival Manual" "A long overdue book. With the elimination of high school driver's education, this book fills an important void. In addition to giving driving tips, I recently saved myself over $600 and probably my life by following one of the tips in the book. Thank you for this book. I will be purchasing copies for my friends and their children." Mary Leitman, Pinecrest, Florida "As a person who knows little about cars, this book is a God-send. It taught me many things I wondered about but had no way of knowing. Thank you." Seth Eisinger, Miami, Florida "This is an awesome book that is long overdue. I will purchase a copy for each of my kids to keep in their cars for reference. Almost everything that can happen while driving is covered." Jim Grant, New Bern, North Carolina "I now will no longer purchase gas from a station when the tanker is filling the station's tank. I got debris in my gas tank once and it cost me over $600 to get the problem fixed. I now learned the reason why it happened. I never knew what 'bad gas' was." Joseph Richards, Miami, Florida "As a senior citizen and one who loves to drive, this book gave me some real tips and information that I have used to stop getting taken advantage of at mechanics. I have also bought one each of my eight children and grandchildren for them to keep in their cars." Valence Nightingale, Brooklyn, New York "As a mechanic, I am thrilled to see that someone has finally written a book to make our lives easier. After reading this book, people will be able to give us more information so that we can find their problems easier." Cleveland Alexander, Owner, Cleveland's Car Care, Miami, Florida "I could have killed myself and my kids because when it is cold and I am gassing up my car, I get in and out trying to stay warm. I did not realize this could cause a build-up of static electricity that could cause the gas fumes to explode. Thank you for bringing this fact to my attention" Coralita Powell, U.S. Navy, Brooklyn, New York. "This book is great. I learned so much from reading it. It is written to make it easy to understand. I actually know what my alternator is and what it does. I also learned some valuable lessons. My family and I could have saved myself lots of money if we had this book before. This is absolutely the best!" Oscar Viejo, Coral Gables, Florida "Don't let the size of this book fool you. It has powerful information. I have been in the sales, service and management side of the automotive industry for over thirty years and this is by far the most comprehensive tool car owners should purchase to help them understand how to keep their kids and themselves safe in the operation of their vehicles." Tom Meredith, Boston, MA "Happily I read this book. It saved my life and that of my three children. My car broke down on a South Florida highway. I followed the suggestions in the book because they made sense. Within three minutes after we were out of the car and standing up the road away from the car as the book suggested, a truck slammed into it and crushed it. We would all be dead was it not for my reading this book and following a simple suggestion." Chris Wilkinson, Boca Raton, Florida
