The secret to getting a professional look to your knitted projects is all in the finishing.  Do you know how to properly seam a knitted sweater so it doesn't look handmade?  Do you know how to correctly perform increases and decreases so that they're barely noticeable in the finished piece?  If you don't feel that confident in your finishing skills or you've always wanted to improve upon your current technique, I encourage you to pick up a copy of this extensive book.

Included inside you'll find more than 50 expert tutorials that cover increases, decreases, seams, blocking, decorative finishes and more.  You'll be able to easily master each method presented using the step-by-step illustrations, easy-to-read instructions and dozens of colored picture tutorials.  The book itself is also compact, meaning you can easily throw it in your project bag and take it with you on the go.  That way, you'll be able to pull it out whenever you need a little refresher!
