Selvedges in Knitting

We're back on the topic of selvedges.  this time in Knitting!  Have you ever thought that you must make your selvedges work just right?  Of course, you have!    I found this site Tricksy Knitter very helpful.
Here is a simple chain slip on this shawl selvedge

 
How about a crochet edge to finish off your selvedge?
On this shawl I used garter stitch on the border.
There are so many interesting stitches to use for that added feature on your knit wear.
Happy stitching!
