Description

In this welcome continuation of her fabulously successful Knitting On, Over, and Beyond the Edge series, she shows crocheters how to add her signature embellishments to their projects. Nicky has created nearly 200 spectacular edgings, all with written instructions, charts, and photographs, along with amazing projects that showcase them magnificently. A little red jacket, cropped, shaped, and adorned with oversize buttons, features pretty scalloping. The adorable pink t-shirt provides a perfect example of how a little crocheting can transform an existing garment into a one-of-a-kind boutique-quality piece.nbsp; Among her other fashion-forward designs: an ecru crystal shoulder cape, hat band and bracelet, and multicolor top. As with all Nicky’s other books, this is sure to be a hit! nbsp;… (more)

This is a richly illustrated book with step by step instructions on how to create about 200 decretive borders. The collection includes ribs and bobbles, ruffles, flora, fringes, and points and scallops. The author also includes 9 patterns for projects using some of the edges presented in the book.

Nicky's my favorite needlework designer. This is another fine collection in her signature whimsical and fantastic style.
Not her best - but still worth adding to your "Nicky" shelf.
