When the knitting is done, the fun has just begun!

Take your knits to the next level with color, texture and sparkle.

Why settle for ordinary when you can create true originals? Learn how to make fabulously detailed pieces—without the complex color sequences and tricky texture patterns that tend to take all the fun out of knitting. Simply knit the project in easy Stockinette stitch, then embellish with embroidery, beading, fringe and more. It's that easy! And sooo much fun!

Add subtle details, like a simple swirl on a sweater sleeve or a pretty bead edging on a hat. Go all-out with bold patterns and intricate embroidery designs, as seen on the classic Norwegian ski sweater and elegant embroidered and fringed shawl. Bring whimsy to a pillow with a dimensional flower centerpiece, sparkle to an eyelash scarf with faceted beads, style to a purse with crazy quilt striping… or even personalize store-bought pieces with your own special touch. It's like icing on your knitted cake!
