Review

Cast On, Bind Off has 211 ways to begin and end your knitting, written by Cap Sease. Cap has arranged the 120+ cast on and 80+ bind off, are based on the edges they produce, the way they are knit and their function. The construction of these techniques helps to determine which application should be used for a particular knitted item.

If your socks are tight at the cuff or your sweater edges curl and that isn't the look you are going for, here 211 solutions. This book is a must have whether you are new to knitting or experienced. The correct cast on and bind off can help give your finished project a professional look. --Paula Moliver for the Hartford Knitting Examiner


<br /With 211 cast ons and binds offs, it would be hard not to learn something from this book. I'm a visual learner and this book is word heavy, but I was captivated from the first page. I didn't know there could be so much interesting information about starting and ending knitting. There are illustrations of how to do each technique and one good photo of the right side of each cast on and bind off.

The author has spent a lot of time knitting, teaching knitting and talking to other knitters and teachers about their favorite techniques. She shares it all here.

The writing is instructive, informative, but also encouraging; it's not always easy to learn something new. There are lists of alternate names for each cast on and bind off, so I didn't have to read through the instructions to realize that this is just long-tail cast on with a different name.

There is great information on pairing cast ons and bind offs so they look and act similarly. She shows how to do techniques for both English and Continental styles of knitting.

If you are a knitter that likes to get a little more out your knitting than just a finished piece, you will love this book. --Knitty, Winter 2012

This is a lovely and helpful book. I am a very experienced knitter, and have found this a useful reference book that even includes cast ons and bind offs I have never seen nor used before. The written directions are clear and for those of us who are visual learners, they are accompanied by very nice, (large) easily "read" illustrations. There is also a sharp photo of every technique which is easy to see and helps you to know if this is a cast-on or bind-off that would work for the project you are undertaking. (See images on the site). I have tried several of the techniques prior to writing this review just to be sure that the directions make sense and everything went smoothly.

I particularly like the three tables at the beginning of the book. One gives a list of purposes for cast ons (and one for bind offs), so that if you are looking for a durable cast-on or an elastic bind off, you know which type to use. The third table is the best, because it lists cast ons and bind offs that will create matching edges (...And you have a choice of nine different types!)

Although the book advertises (more than) 120 cast ons and (more than) 80 bind-offs, one should remember that it includes many variations on techniques along with cast ons/bind offs for very particular uses, so you should not expect 120 cast ons for every occasion. It is a strength that this book addresses particular needs (as well as general ones), for example circular cast ons, sock toe cast ons, two stranded knitting cast ons, decorative bind offs, etc.

The book is spiral bound and large (pages are 8.5 by 11" (21 x 27.5cm)) so those that found the pictures unclear or too small in the book on 54 Cast Ons/Bind Off should be much happier.
I have had this book for a few months now. Initially I started out with a 3-star review, which I have decided to come back and bring down to a 2-star review. The original review is below the break, but I am adding additional complaints as I am increasingly disappointed in the production and editing of this book:

First, there is no pictorial overview. This blows my mind. There are apparently 211 techniques scattered throughout the book, but there is no graphical thumbnail index to glance through. This means you really have no idea what is in this book except that you flip page-by-page to visually compare CO/BOs. Ridiculous. The thumbnails they use to simply adorn whitespace in the table of contents, intro pages, and on the front/back covers are the same graphics repeated over and over; they don't even switch it up (terrible marketing on the editor's part), so in the places it might have been possible to get an at-a-glance overview, they failed. They could have fit 20-25 fairly large thumbnails on a single page. What pattern book does not have an at-a-glance overview?

Secondly, reinforcing my complaints about missing page numbers and poor editing: in the very beginning of the book, page 5, you find How to Choose a Cast On or Bind Off. The first 3 sentences state: "In choosing which to use, you need to keep several things in mind. Function is probably the most important consideration. What's the purpose of the edge and how will it be used?" The editor shoots herself in the foot here by claiming the most important consideration is function and then on the following charted page, provides absolutely zero page number references (see more on this below).
