Don't forget about selvages. They're very important when it comes to finishing your garments. Sewing your garment up will be made much easier with a selvage.

Some patterns account for selvages some don't. If they don't it is up to you. There are many different types of selvages but one of the most common is a slip-stitch selvage.

If you have the book The Knitter's Book of Finishing Techniques by Nancie Wiseman you're all set. If not, we have the book here at the shop. It is a valuable resource if you're having trouble finishing (or avoiding finishing) your projects.
