It has been my knitting bible for as long as I can remember. Especially important is Elizabeth's chaper on gauge. (  ) eembooks | May 24, 2009 |  Hilarious, intelligent, though-provoking, empowering and inspiring. Typical EZ. If you knit or want to learn, get this. You will not regret it. ( ) KnottyArtisan | Sep 8, 2008 | The Knitting Bible. ( ) vmarquar | Apr 22, 2008 | This was my first knitting book, purchased in 1975. If the knitting police came and I could only take one book with me, this would be it. A must have for all knitter's libraries. ( ) kidpiper | Jul 3, 2007 | Amazing. Elizabeth Zimmerman's approach to knitting is a breath of fresh air. I LOVE the way she encourages knitters to figure things out themselves. This has been very liberating...very. It has inspired me to try my hand at design! ( ) Wanderlust_Lost | Jun 23, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
