No hedging on edging.
February 5th, 2013 at 8:49 pm
My first podcast! I really enjoyed it!
February 5th, 2013 at 9:12 pm
I love the images from this book. I think decorative crochet edgings are one of the most beautiful treatments for any knitted garment. How great to be able to have a book for such great inspiration
February 5th, 2013 at 10:01 pm
Such pretty edgings! Add a few inches of “body”.. instant shawl for those of us who’ve never made one yet!

I would love to create a collection of crochet books including this new book by Kristin Omdahl! The edgings are gorgeous and I love everything she designs, I would love to win this book!

This is a must have book for those of us who are unimpressed with ordinary knitted edges and would like to add more beauty to our work. This book definitely needs to be in my knitting/crochet library. I sure would love to win it!

I am new to Webs and your podcasts. I am going to have to start at the beginning. I am working on stretching my skill as I want to start designing crochet projects.
February 6th, 2013 at 3:19 am
Wow! What a great resource. I can think of many ways that I would use this book. And I might even learn to be a better crocheter. Thanks for the give-away.
February 6th, 2013 at 7:30 am
Love love Kristin’s patterns! Fingers crossed!

I have a small knitting business and find new ideas always helpful toward giving variety and a sense of the special to products for sale. This book would clearly prove helpful in that. I also am a member of a weekly group of knitters and crocheters with whom I would share the book.

I was intrigued by your conversation on the podcast about using crocheted edgings on knitted items. I’m primarily a knitter but I would love to explore some of the edgings in this book to add interest to the shawls I love to knit.

Hi, I received an email from WEBS about the podcast contest, so went
through the motions of setting up iTunes on my new phone and subscribing
to this interview. I thought I would listen to a few so I could comment. I have only just listened to the Finer Edge interview on Ready Set Knit, and will listen to it a few times more.
My goal is to teach shawl and sock knitting and to design some of my own. I love to knit and can also crochet. I like the finer fabrics, so my crochet has
been in thread most of the time in the past. The idea of combining Kristen’s
edges/fabric with my shawl designs has my head spinning.
I decided to get your book right away, and then you mentioned this contest. So
let’s see if I’m randomly picked, and if not, then the book is the next
on my list of things to do. I am 63, and have raised 6 kids since I was 15 – the second bunch of 3 are my grandchildren, the oldest is 28. Life is starting to slow down a bit and I want to teach knitting and have a shop and design shawls.

This is beautiful, I love the design, color, everything.
February 6th, 2013 at 5:41 pm
Oh wow, this looks like a fabulous book, and I’ve used crochet edges on every single one of my knitted winter scarves. I’m so much better at crochet than knitting, and I love combining both in my projects as much as possible. Thanks for this great opportunity.
February 6th, 2013 at 5:51 pm
I’d love to win a copy of this book. What a wonderful resource of edgings.
February 6th, 2013 at 6:18 pm
Thanks to WEBS for the crochet love! This book would be so helpful in designing shawl borders! And I love your 2/14 alpaca silk.
February 6th, 2013 at 6:19 pm
I met Kristin at Stitches Midwest – what a great lady! It would be wonderful to win a copy of her new book and bottle of Wrapture.

When I was 7 my mother taught me to crochet by having me crochet lace edges on linen hankies. I still remember the thin thread in shades of pink, and mom pulling out the edge whenever I made a mistake. I must have crocheted the edge on each hankie ten times before I learned to take care. I don’t think I’ll return to such fine crochet, but your book makes me think of many creative things I would like to do combining crochet with my knitting.

Oh, this looks like a great package and that purple is beautiful! I’d love to win this!
February 6th, 2013 at 9:47 pm
Can’t wait to do some crochet trims from this book!
February 6th, 2013 at 10:00 pm
I would love to crochet with this thread, I’ve never tried it. My Nane used to crochet finer items.
February 6th, 2013 at 10:01 pm
Can’t wait to try your new jasmine scent on my sheets.
February 6th, 2013 at 10:36 pm
I’ve wanted to learn how to crochet and the trims look so cool that I want to learn now!
February 7th, 2013 at 9:40 am
Very interesting interview-thank you for the giveaway! I would like to add the edgings to my collection of crochets I have from my great grandmother and grandmother!
February 7th, 2013 at 12:57 pm
Thank you for the giveaway! The edgings love beautiful and I LOVE jasmine!
February 8th, 2013 at 11:12 am
I enjoy the podcast. I am interested in learning how to modify edging on garments. Thanks for the contest.
February 8th, 2013 at 11:43 am
I’d love to find some fun and fresh edgings to add to curtains for my daughter’s new house!
February 12th, 2013 at 2:20 pm
I thank you for the opportunity to win this amazing gift package! I am relatively new to crochet and loving it! Learning how to do fancy lovely edges things would be great! I have a couple books now on the stitches and this would be a lovely match up.
Thanks again for the chance!
