FREEPORT —- Leslie Ann Bestor will present her new book, “Cast On, Bind Off ” at Casco Bay Fibers, 15 Main St., Freeport, 1:30 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 15.

As evidenced by the plethora of instructional videos and the increasing number of skill-building workshops and retreats, knitters love to learn new stitches and techniques.

But even while experimenting with ever-more difficult designs, many knitters stick with the simple cast-on and bind-off techniques they learned when they picked up their first pair of needles.

That’s about to change.

Storey Publishing’s “Cast On, Bind Off” by Leslie Ann Bestor is a one-of-a-kind reference demonstrating more than 50 methods for beginning and ending projects with character and style.

“Cast On, Bind Off” teaches how to choose and how to execute the most appropriate, functional and effective means of creating beautiful and professional edges for any number of distinctive projects.

From the charming bobbles of picot cast ons and bind offs to the smooth roll of the tubular edge, Bestor has assembled a treasure trove of techniques in one easy-toaccess reference.
