Knitting for Anarchists

I read somewhere that an amazing percentage of knitters not only knit their patterns exactly as written but use the colour shown in the pictures. this book is for them. Zilboorg does give some outlines for patterns, lots of luck duplicating the colours.

My rating is less than the average given this book but i did think very well of it. Ratings seem to me to be inflated, not enough mediocre books.

Every knitter takes a different approach, and this revolutionary guide fosters experimentation and self-expression. Author Anna Zilboorg defies the notion of a one-size-fits-all teaching method, assuring readers that the techniques most comfortable and intuitive for individual knitters are always correct. Her explorations of the construction of knitted fabrics are founded upon the understanding that there are many different ways to produce the same satisfying result.
Offering advice rather than rules, Knitting for Anarchists promises to broaden the horizons of active knitters and to encourage beginners. Patterns for sweaters, pullovers, and cardigans include helpful photos, charts, and directions that serve not only as guidelines but show more also as springboards for unlimited variations. show less
