Decorative edges

I'm starting to knit a threesome of handpuppets for a cousin's little kids (my teenaged sons are - unfortunately - well beyond this type of thing now...). They are "estonian" sheep, very cute, and will give me a chance to exercise my rusty colourwork skillz. I recently learned how to do two-handed colourwork (from a lady in my knitgroup!), so this is an excellent opportunity to practise! (BTW, here is an excellent video on that technique!)

I also thought I'd try to figure out some nice decorative edgings. Here are a few I've been able to source:

• Latvian Twist (this is an easy cast-on technique - can be done with many colours)
• Latvian Braid (basically, colourwork with the purl side showing, while being consistent about twisting the yarns around each other - can be done anywhere in your work, and with as many colours as you like)
• Braided cast-on (again, can be done with many colours)
• Then there is this cross-over between a picot cast-on and the twist technique, which produces a neat row of picots with eyelets above.
• fringed cast-on, or use the loop stitch to create one or more rows along the bottom of your work.

I'll have lots of opportunity to try these techniques on my flock!
