Part knitting instruction and part memoir, Elizabeth Zimmermann’s timeless Knitting Around offers wonderful insight into a beloved knitting icon. Zimmermann’s method of instruction encourages the reader to think beyond pattern schematics, following basic tenets of fit and shape to create a knit garment that is a deeply creative and satisfying endeavor. Knitting Around contains the roadmaps for 25 classic designs such as the Bog Jacket, Zimmermann’s Fair Isle Yoke Sweater, and Artistic Socks, plus several new garments for this new full-color version. Also new to this edition, you'll find editors' comments and clarifications; notes to preface each chapter from the author's daughter, Meg Swansen; improved charts and expanded sizing; and the new addition of Elizabeth Zimmerman's artwork. A true treasure for anyone who loves to knit!
