Kristin Omdahl is a crochet genius
and we are always excited to see a new book from her. The latest, The FinerEdge: Crocheted Trims, Borders, & Motifs is another lovely addition to her
repertoire. The book contains written and charted instructions for a myriad of
patterns, enough to keep you busy for a good long while. Not only that, but it
has both patterns for full garments AND stand alone motifs and trims that you
could apply to anything making this book both a reference and a pattern book.
This belongs in ANY crocheters library.
We think The Finer Edge speaks for
itself so here are some of our favorite designs from the book:
 |
| Palmira Shawl |
 |
| Pompeii Mobius |
 |
| Petra Wrap Skirt |
 |
| Birka Car Coat |
 |
| Luxor Blanket |
 |
| Memphis Bag |
 |
| Anni Belt/Scarf |
Impressed yet? We certainly are! In
fact, we know you are going to love this book so much we just HAD to share it
with you! We have a copy of The Finer Edge to giveaway to one reader. Please
leave us a comment to let us know what design from the book that you’d knit
first. Or, tell us (and link to) your favorite design of Kristin’s. We randomly
draw a winner and announce it on the blog on Monday, June 17th. Good luck, and
thanks for entering!
Happy crocheting!
Kristen :)

I like the Pompeii mobius. Oh, and is this a trick question? Cuz I wouldn't knit it, I'd crochet it. :^)
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm ... I'm thinkin' The Darlin' Daughter might enjoy hooking me a Memphis Bag :-)
ReplyDeleteI would love to use the edging on the Luxor Blanket to edge a shawl or shrug. What I like most about Kristin's designs is the ideas they spark!
