Book Description

September 18, 2007
150 Knitted Trims offers a beautiful and diverse collection of contemporary and classic trims. Each trim is displayed in a swatch with complete row-by-row instructions, plus information on the dimensions of the finished trim and the amount of yarn required per length. Select from colorful zigzags and chevrons; twisted cords and bobble fringes; woven ribbon-effect braids; textured leaves, flowers, fruit and more. And there are ideas galore for using the trims on items such as baby blankets, bags, and throws, plus inspirational suggestions for color and embellishments.
Suitable for both beginners and avid enthusiasts, 150 Knitted Trims is organized in two main sections for ease of use: first, a directory of the trims shown actual size (so they can be "tested" on your designs). And second, easy-to-follow complete pattern instructions for each trim. Each design is graded according to skill level. An additional section includes a refresher course of stitches and techniques used for guaranteed success. 
A companion book to 150 Crochet Trims, and another book that all knitters and crocheters will want to add to their library!

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE FOR EVERY KNITTER, December 16, 2007
This review is from: 150 Knitted Trims: Designs for Beautiful Decorative Edgings, from Beaded Braids to Cables, Bobbles, and Fringes (Paperback)
Any book with Lesley Stanfield's name on it rates a look from me. This English author, designer and editor
always comes up with something special, as she does in this book.

The variety of knitted trims is mind boggling: There's a great variety of borders, bands, and braids, many
trimmed with beads or sequins. Frills, flouces, and lacy edgings expand the mix. But wait -- there's more!
You'll love the loops and fringes, the insertions, and a whole section on unusual and charming knitted
flowers, leaves, and other fun things like a heart, a colorful butterfly, and a wonderful tassel with a knitted skirt. There's even a tiny Christmas stocking.

The photos are close up and clear, and you can see every stitch. Instructions are well layed out and are so short and easy to follow that I don't see the lack of symbol charts as a negative.

The trims are all both unusual and usable. This is a great book to give a knitting friend -- so buy two and
keep one for yourself.

But don't lend out your copy -- chances are you'll never get it back!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for project ideas!, November 25, 2007
This review is from: 150 Knitted Trims: Designs for Beautiful Decorative Edgings, from Beaded Braids to Cables, Bobbles, and Fringes (Paperback)
Found this book to be way more helpful than the Nicky Epstein series "Knitting... The Edge" series. Loads of ideas. I don't really care that there are no charts, I find it easy to work with out them and would definitely recommend this book for anyone who feels the same. Plus the designs are way cooler. Not a big fringe and bobble gal.

3.0 out of 5 stars No charts, October 18, 2007

Cheap and Lazy (Minnetonka, MN, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 150 Knitted Trims: Designs for Beautiful Decorative Edgings, from Beaded Braids to Cables, Bobbles, and Fringes (Paperback)
Lots of edgings I hadn't seen in other books and many that could be used for bag handles and belts. Good photos. I would love to buy this book (checked it out from the library), but the use of row-by-row instructions alone, without charts, would make it much less fun for me to use.
