Finishing Touches By: June Timberlake

"No experience necessary - we will train"

This book is written for those that love the special finishing touch that makes a knitted garment a "One of a Kind". These ideas are from many years of trail and error. As the waste basket filled and overflowed, the ideas grew and accumulated until it was time to write them down to share with others.

The following pages contain ideas that are basically simple, yet add a distinctive touch. All you need for any of these ideas is:
1. latch tool
2. Double eye needle or yarn needle
3. Small crochet hook (size 2 or C)
4. Blank punch cards
5. Dress makers marking pen (this is a must)
6. A little imagination.

Be sure to try these techniques on a small sample first. Read through the book and then let your creative juices start to flow. We have tried hard not to abbreviate to make it simpler for the beginners.

Try knitting a basic plain sweater then dress it up using one of the methods described in this book. Most importantly, be patient when knitting and don't become discouraged when a mistake occurs. Many of these techniques were a result of trying to hide a blunder. So get busy, get creative, let you imagination go wild and best of all have fun while doing it, you will find it mostly rewarding.

Note from author: I have always loved the look of cables but disliked the tiresome job of crossing over stitches every few rows. After much experimenting, I found a simple way to make mock cables without crossing over. It is just a matter of needle set up and using your holding or partial knitting buttons.
