Now an Anglican Solitary living the Blue Ridge Mountains, Ann Zilboorg has traveled from the Orient to Turkey to Armenia reseraching ethnic knitting.
Once in a while a review book lands on my desk that I cannot put
down. Knitting is an art in Anna Zilboorg's hands and we can always
rely on XRX books to produce a great book with innovative knitting.
It's not that embroidered knitting is new, it's just the way that
Anna uses it. She has perfectly fused excellent knitwear design
with beautiful embroidery that fits snugly into the pattern. Proof
that craft is art. This is one of those knitwear books where you
think 'I'll knit that one first', 'Gosh, must have that one', 'I
want that one NOW'. Eighteen patterns and I would be happy to knit
them all, although that gaping waistcoat arm would have to be
amended! Intelligent knitwear, stylish to wear and great to knit.
Clear photos, excellent design and very clear charts. The
embroidery how-to is fabulous. If this book is not the best selling
number one knitting book, I'll eat my ball of wool! It doesn't get
any better, so this begs the question - what's up next Anna? You
MUST buy this not only for yourself but also for all your knitting
friends - start a Zilboorg knitting circle.
