I mentioned in yesterday's blog

I mentioned in yesterday's blog entry that I ordered a new needle for Charlotte from Ozeyarn. I ordered the needle at 11.30 yesterday morning.
It was in my mailbox at 8.30am this morning.
Can you believe that? That is absolutely the best service I have ever received from any online merchant. The needle is an Inox, and is quite nice on Charlotte too :)
So I did a few rows of Charlotte, and I am up to around row 65 now, so I'm getting it back to where I had it, but now that it's lacier, and the holes are bigger, my fingernails are getting hooked, LOL!
I also did a couple of rows on Everyday, but nothing worth photographing or anything.
I have been thinking about how I am going to finish Charlotte. I don't think I want a fringe. It just seems to me that with that beautiful lace and beautiful yarn, I'd prefer her to be finished with a lacy edge.
One problem. I can't crochet. I don't even have any interest in crochet. I went through some of my knitting books, but none of the lace edges I found appealed to me. I've been looking about for the new Nicky Epstein book that is being advertised in all the US knitting mags lately, "Knitting on The Edge" 350 decorative borders. Sounds great, but it hasn't been released in Australia yet, and I hate to buy a book sight unseen.
Has anybody seen it? Opinions? I can't even find a website that is showing some of the pages inside, grrrr!

I ordered the Epstein book and ought to have it in a few days. I'll post a review on my blog after I've looked through it.

Thanks for the lovely words about us! We do try hard to give the best service, and so it's really nice to see that people appreciate it. Thanks again, and I hope to see you back at Ozeyarn!
