The listing, Designer Knitting Book - "Finishing School" by Deborah Newton has ended.
Designer Deborah Newton's new book with tips and techniques, also includes 13 full patterns!
From reviews:
Finishing School takes a very logical approach to the issue of finishing, taking knitters through blocking, seaming, edgings, buttons, zippers, pockets and other "finishing" such as felting and repurposing an old sweater as a new bag.
Each chapter includes lot of details, photos and directions, as well as a pattern or two illustrating the lessons of that chapter.
This is not a book you buy for the patterns, though there are some very nice projects here illustrating both a range of knitting skills and of finishing techniques. If you wanted to learn just about all there is to know about finishing knit garments, you could use this book as a literal workshop and knit through it, building your skills as you go.
Finishing School is meticulously detailed, rich with illustration and photography. Yet this isn’t a stuffy or boring book. She backs up nearly every technique with a personal story or anecdote.
This is a fantastic book for every level of knitter. Newbies will learn it right the first time and more experienced knitters will have more beautifully finished garments.
