This is a great resource book, full of a variety of edgings that have both written & charted directions. There are quite a few different designs, some lacey, some textured, some full of color. There are some that I have seen elsewhere (such as Heidi, single points, eyelash fringe) but that's certainly to be expected. There are a lot of ruffled designs, which look like a lot of fun, I think my favorite is Kendall's Ruffle.

Interesting edgings for crochet geniuses. I am not a genius. It was neat to see what the patterns do, though, and if I get to the point where I want to edge a knitted work, this is a good option for finishing techniques.
A little for everyone. Not the old granny crocheting you think of, but new and the makings for pretties that your friends will be jealous of. If you get this with a standard stitch book there's nothing you can't do.
Not bad. Her first crochet book sucked ducks and really could have used some style. But this one works on every level, from stitch choice, to yarn/thread types. Not one thing in this book did I dislike.
This book has a fantastic array of edgings. The book includes both written patters and charts. Each edging is organized by type and a huge variety of each is included. This is an excellent resource book.
This book is for anyone with either too much time on their hands or a very vivid imagination about fashion and making your own clothes. I will never have the time to try all the patterns and techniques in this book. But it's beautiful. And I did buy it and one for a crocheting friend. I plan to slowly throughout my lifetime try a technique here or there and possible soon one of the patterns for clothes. A grand dream would be the cream colored circle shawl. A must see for anyone who has ever cro...more
Great book! Nicky Epstein seems to have an endless imagination and the whimsy of this book suits the crochet techniques.
Beautiful edges and embellishments.

Recommends it for:
anyone who wants to use crochet to spice up an item that needs a little flair.
Beautiful edgings of all kinds, to embellish anything you can think of.
I book-marked sooooo many pages in this one for "try it later".
Great illustrations (diagrams and color photos) and easy-to-follow instructions.
It's not really a crochet patterns book but there are a few cool projects in the book.

Lots and lots of edging options. And I adore the Medallion Medley cape; I'd never thought of putting together different bits and pieces of different sizes.
