I played with one more on the way home from the Craftsy shoot; I had tucked a few patterns into my luggage to fill in idle moments. As it turned out, there were no idle moments until I was on a plane hurtling back towards Chicago. Shooting went very well–in fact, we wrapped early–but when I wasn't in looking deep into the hypnotic blackness of this
I was usually sleeping. Shooting a class is fun, but it taxes a fellow's stamina.
Thanks, by the way, to all of you who asked here (and on Twitter and Facebook) what my class is, and when it will appear. As of this writing, I'm not allowed to reveal the topic. The launch will be in about four weeks. You can expect me to make a great deal of noise the minute Craftsy gives me the go-ahead.
Now, back to the edging.
This one is by Jane Gaugain, and it's first thing I've worked directly from the book I found in Cambridge. The yarn is that same Zitron Lifestyle I can't seem to put down.
You'll find it in the Appendix under the decidedly un-fanciful title, "Knit Edging, for Collarets, Cuffs, Petticoats, &c." I had to force myself to stop working it and bind off so I could photograph it for you. I think I'll be making some of this (in thread, of course) as an edging for a miniature dress I'm working on. (Not for me. I'm small, but not miniature.)

Thanks for adding another edging! You love edgings, I love edgings. Its meant to be! As a budding designer, I'm always looking for wonderful edgings to add to my shawl designs.You've proven to be a lil source to check because you add these GEMS from way back when and I absolutely love them all. Thanks again Franklin!
That is a nice edging. It is weird seeing an edging that is garter stitch based.

That's IT! (she nearly shouted, like Charlie Brown coming to the realization that he has known all along...) I have been spinning some fiber, not knowing what I will do with it if it should ever become yarn, for there are only 18g of the stuff. IT WILL BE EDGING for something! Thank you, Franklin! I am loving your patterns/instructions. :)
Franklin, darling, as long as you keep putting up the edgings, I will keep coming back to consider which of them goes around my blanket. So far I've said, "Ooooh, yes, this one!" for each of them.
I love edging, especially edging with leafy motifs. I once made a hat and knit up a leaf border I found in one of the Harmony stitch books, and managed to attach the border around the hat. It turned out really well and I wore it a lot, except for it being a bit on the big side. I'm thinking some nice hand-warmers with edging around the wrists might be just the thing for spring. Spring IS coming, right? Thank you for your edging inspiration!

I'm finishing up a shawl, Pop Spots, & this is the edging the pattern uses. I've knit about 25 repeats so far & love the looks of it plus the ease of knitting it.
It's a serious question D3 Power Leveling and one you're likely not asked all that often Diablo iii Power Leveling, successful in each endeavor D3 PowerLeveling, take a look at what you do each day and ask yourself "why am I doing this?"
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections cheap c9 gold, don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first c9 money, I have a simple philosophy: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches c9 gold.
This is unrelated to the post, but this shop just opened up in my neighborhood and I wanted to share this fellow's tattoos with you: http://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20130403/rogers-park/squiggly-yarn-shop-brings-knitting-morse-avenue/slideshow/popup/367067.
