Janet wrote this book as a way to solve her frustrations over finishing sweaters. Most knitting books and patterns have only limited information about finishing techniques. Many assume a level of sewing ability that today's knitters simply do not have. Janet learned mostly by trial and error, and she thought it was ridiculous that other knitters should have to do the same. Janet self-published this book because--after two years of submitting proposals to editor after editor--no publishing house was willing to take it on as a project. Although each one told her that her proposal was sound and well-written, the consensus from the editors she spoke with was that the topic was "too boring" and "no one would pay money for this kind of book." Despite their predictions, Janet sat down at her computer and wrote this book. The response has been overwhelming! Janet says, ""I have always felt that knitters would hate finishing less if if someone showed them how to do it properly."
