As a teacher I spent time on finishing with my students. It's not always my favorite part of the process, but I am very particular to get it right and look professional.

I've been knitting since I was 12 (note that I don't say how many years ago that was!) and purchased a stitch dictionary from a yarn company + the 2 Barbara Walker Treasuries. Now I may get a book with a new technique that I'm not familiar with (Knit One Below). Every time I think there is nothing new on the knitting book scene, something exciting comes along. I have Deborah's Designing book and her Finishing book would make a great companion. I tend to buy well-recommended books from people I admire and trust their judgment. Thanks to you, Kristin, I have recently purchased Jane Brocket's Domesticity book and also the 2 Anna books. Jane's book is a bedside read right now while Anna has to wait her turn. If knitters want to see tons of knitting books available they should log on to Unicorn Books. <br />eblim01@yahoo.comElainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495225547594317165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-77497336273838085512011-11-16T19:58:20.844-05:002011-11-16T19:58:20.844-05:00This is the book that I'm missing!

Otherwise, I would like to have a book that does modular sweaters with recommendations on what looks best for different body types. (There have been some wonderful online articles recently about choosing sweater styles that look best.) <br /><br />The book would allow me to choose different elements and put them together in my most becoming style. V-neck or boat neck? Saddle or inset sleeves? Mix and match!<br /><br />Thanks!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478302169295463555noreply@blogger.com
