KAL with Kirsten

This week, we discuss the edging. The lace edging is knit sideways onto the body of the shawl. This is a fairly easy edging. At the end of you shawl, you case on a few stitches, and as you meet with the body of the shawl, you knit a stitch or two from the shawl to attach it. Kirsten suggests Barbara Abbey’s Knitting Lace. She also suggests that you find an edging without too many rows. You could also add a crocheted edging to this shawl.

Guest: Sally Melville, author of the new Warm Knits, Cool Gifts, which she wrote with her daughter Caddy Melville Leadbetter. The projects in this book are truly stunning. This is a must-add to your library! Sally shares a little with how they came up with the concept for the book. Check out Sally’s website for images from the book and to see if she’ll be near you.

Note: There will be no podcast next week.
