I admit that I originally got this book for the "February" baby sweater. However, I was surprised at the vast knowledge of knitting techniques that Elizabeth Zimmermann shares. It is done is a folksy kinda way, but her directions really make you think about what your doing instead of being straightforward.

The other patterns in the book translate well for any time period and are very useful. ( )

As always, a joy. Elizabeth's pithy instructions mean you have to think for yourself, which can only make you a better knitter. A must-have. ( )

I am a recent knitter, and a recent convert to the ways of EZ. Her pithy comments make complete and total sense to me, and I understand the concepts that she espouses clearly as they are my own in many cases. It is at once a look into the recent past when it wasn't unrealistic to make things for yourself, and a look at a timeless craftsperson reveling in her twin crafts of fibre and word arts. ( )

Interesting read, and useful patterns - assumes the knitter is actually capable of understanding what she's doing - which is refreshing!
