Finishing School A Master Class for Knitters

The word "finishing" fills many knitters with dread. Some even abandon projects rather than complete the necessary steps to achieve beautiful, wearable garments. Now, notable knitter and designer Deborah Newton shares her expertise and love of finishing techniques in an on-the-page master class. Deborah patiently takes her student-readers step by step through the ins and outs of blocking, seaming, edging, and embellishments, giving them the confidence and skills to create professional-looking knitwear. In addition to Deborah's expert instructions, the book includes patterns for 12 sweaters, jackets, and scarves, many with variations.

Deborah Newton has been a knitwear designer for more than 25 years, and her designs have appeared in numerous publications including Vogue Knitting, Threads, Knitter's Magazine, and McCalls. She also teaches around the country, most recently for Vogue Knitting's annual VK Live Event in New York City. Her first book, the bestselling Designing Knitwear, has been in print for more than 15 years.
