5.0 out of 5 stars So useful, a bit of everything for the kntiter, 1 Jun 2004

Joanna Daneman (Middletown, DE USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Knitter's Almanac: Projects for Each Month of the Year (Dover Knitting, Crochet, Tatting, Lace) (Paperback)

These patterns by the late, British-born American Mrs Zimmermann are sometimes plain-looking, but always clever in design and absolutely useful. Using the idea of a calendar, the author presents designs for each month of the year, from a round "Pi" shawl with options to add your own lace designs, to several baby items such as longies and a sweater, to hats, Christmas ornaments, a chain-mail patterned pullover and more.

I've made most of the models in this book, and I constantly refer to it for creating my own patterns. The writing is amusing and talks a bit about the author's life in rural Wisconsin. Charming and useful, this is one of my favorite knitting books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun for knitters and non-knitters alike!, 24 May 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Knitter's Almanac: Projects for Each Month of the Year (Dover Knitting, Crochet, Tatting, Lace) (Paperback)

Elizabeth Zimmerman is not only the guru of knitting, she's a witty and charming writer as well. I've given this Zimmerman book as a gift (an inexpensive one, I might add) to beginning and advanced knitters alike. (And I've read passages aloud to non-knitters, who've appreciated Elizabeth's humor and ability to relate knitting to almost any other subject.) Probably one of the most interesting parts of the book is Elizabeth's description of knitting in the car even when it's dark out (at least she's not driving, too -- although I believe she probably could). The best thing about this book is that Elizabeth presents knitting as a practical matter, not as something that you must follow stitch-by-stitch from a pattern someone else has written. She explains knitting so that you can create sweaters and other items from your own heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Tao of Knitting, 25 Nov 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Knitter's Almanac: Projects for Each Month of the Year (Dover Knitting, Crochet, Tatting, Lace) (Paperback)

This book is a must for those who want to get away from counting stitches in a pattern and rather learn how to knit so that you have it all in your head. With projects for every month of the year and shortcuts for those with no patience this book reveals the age-old secrets of knitting. Even if you find the knitted tights slightly wacky there are enough projects to make the book worth having.
