The Perfect Beginning and Ending for Every Project

Knitters adore mastering new yarn skills — the kind o techniques that

take a project from ordinary to extraordinary. Most knitters have

been using the same cast on they learned as novices, but now, or the

frst time in one volume are dozens more . . . each with unique quirks

and benefts. And knitters everywhere are learning that there’s no

better way to make knitting stand out than to start and end with

a distinctive edge. In Cast On, Bind Of, Leslie Ann Bestor helps

knitters master an array o creative and stylish starts and fnishes — romthe highly decorative to the sleek and subtle. Each method eatures

precise step-by-step instructions accompanied by our-color photo-

graphy and suggestions or appropriate uses. Drawn rom her three

decades o experience as a trusted knitting instructor, yarn retailer,

and fber artist, Bestor’s varied approaches to casting on and binding

o are as accessible as they are appealing.

whatever method you preer.
