Around the Corner Borders

I borrow a lot of pattern books from our local library and  recently I borrowed the book Around the Corner Crochet Borders by Edie Eckman.  I enjoyed it so much as there were so many patterns and helpful hints that I decided to purchase this book.

There are 150 different edgings to add to your crochet work.  I usually just add a fringe or a shell stitch edging.  Now I'll be adding all sorts of edgings.I recently finished a scarf out of some left over yarn from another project.  And instead of the usual edging I added a corkscrew fringe.

What a fun way to finish off a project.

As well as all the different edgings the book explains how to turn corners when you are adding these edgings to afghans, blankets or granny squares.  I just may find myself taking off some of those boring fringes and adding fun borders to some of the scarves and afghans I've already made.
Happy Hooking!
