Useful Books

From time to time we come across books that we find especially useful for our rug making. This particular book was given to me, and I use it a lot for edgings. Unlike the Nicky Epstein book that serves a similar purpose, it is very compact and easy to use and carry around - and somehow, the edgings seem to be more  useful. As well as 129 edgings it has 21 "Additions" - flowers, leaves etc. It is photographed well, and the layout and contents are useful for new and experienced knitters:

The librarians at Epping are very helpful and always endeavour to purchase books for the library that might be useful to a number of people - and we have lots of knitters in Hornsby Shire. I'll be asking them to put this one on the list :)

Details of the book are:
