Now, in one extraordinary book, have at your fingertips more than 120 ways to cast on and more than 80 ways to bind off. This beautifully organized treasure is ideal for all skill levels. A terrific value! Find each technique presented with step-by-step written instructions, clear how-to-illustrations, and a photo of the finished edge. Learn the advantages and disadvantages of each method, including suggestions for when to use it. Discover workhorse and specialty cast ons and bind offs for colorwork, cuffs, ruffles, fringe, lace buttonholes and more. "The beauty of this book, though, is the fact that, like so many other things with knitting, there's so much more. There are dozens of different methods. In fact, according to Cap Sease, the brilliant mind behind this collection, there are 211 of them. I'm betting that's approximately 200 more cast on/bind off methods than you were aware of. Maybe you looked at this book when it first came out in hardcover and thought, "That looks really interesting, but..." before putting it down. Hardcover books can be expensive, after all, and heavy to lug about in a knitting bag. Which is why you NEED to know that Cast On, Bind Off is now available in paperback". --Knitting Scholar, May 2014… (more)

211 ways to begin and end your knitting
  jhawn | Jul 31, 2017 |
Cast On, Bind Off takes on the most difficult part of knitting, offering 120+ ways to cast on and 80+ ways to bind off. Each method is illustrated with clear drawings of the technique, and color photos of actual knitted examples. The author discusses the characteristics of each technique, and provides suggestions for the best uses. The techniques range from the old and traditional to modern innovations including Judy's Magic Cast On and Jeny's Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off.

The book is very nicely designed for use as a reference. The pages are printed on sturdy paper that should hold up well to heavy use. The outer cover looks like a conventional book, but the coil binding inside allows the pages to lie flat for easy reference while knitting.
