Edie Eckman presents Every Which Way Crochet Borders

Yarn Thing Podcast with Marly Bird-Edie EckmanEdie Eckman presents Every Which Way Crochet Borders

Edie Eckman presents Every Which Way Crochet Borders was our featured guest today on Yarn Thing podcast with Marly Bird.

Edie Eckman has her hands in many aspects of the fiber arts, teaching, writing, designing and editing. Her knit and crochet designs have appeared in many magazines, yarn company publications, pattern leaflets and books.

Edie’s Books:

  • Beyond the Square Crochet Motifs
  • How to Knit Socks: Three Methods Made Easy
  • The Crochet Answer Book
  • Around the Corner Crochet Borders
  • Every Which Way Crochet Borders

Every Which Way Crochet Boarders:

Step-by-step instructions and symbol charts put these 139 creative new border designs within reach for beginning and advanced crocheters alike.
If you’re ready to chart your own crocheted course, Edie Eckman offers plenty of helpful design advice, including how to choose an appropriate border for each project and how to incorporate an element from the main stitch pattern into a new border design. She then explains, with the help of close-up photos, how the same pattern can have dramatically different results depending on the weight of the yarn.
With each pattern diagramed to approach in both rounds and rows, Every Which Way Crochet Borders is an inventive and invaluable resource.

    I just started listening to your podcast about a week ago and I am hooked! I listen in my car, at work, and you have substituted netflix!! That has definitely shocked my husband! He has been handed over the remote so he thanks you as well. Just wanted to put in my ‘Slindery’ comment and say hello. Can’t wait for the next podcast. I will take advantage and catch up while we wait. Have a good two weeks.

    Wonderful happy interview. Great big fun to listen to. I could hear the respect Marly has for Edie Eckman, it was heart warming. I bet her new book would help me on the slendery side of afghans I am bordering around.

    I love Edie’s books, and I’m looking forward to taking a class with her at the Chain Link conference next month. Maybe If I wrapped myself in a shawl with just the right border from her book, I’d look more slendery!

    I rarely catch the podcast live but usually try to watch it the same day. Love Edies code word!
    I think I will be using the word “slendery” a lot! Lol. Currently borrowed Edies book from the local library but would much rather own it! I think I would use it a lot.

    What I enjoyed about this interview was that you could “hear” the respect that flowed both ways between Edie and Marly. Slenderly…..wish that described my body – alas – it does not!

    Slendery! I had to go back to the podcast and listen twice because at first I thought the code word was sPlendory instead of slendery, my mistake! I enjoyed listening to Edie and learning more about her and her craft.
