All 700+ pages of it.
I piggy backed on a friends order
(KnitPicks)--she had a big enough order for free shipping and I got
free shipping, too.
And now I have the UR of all knitting
books. Last night I turned the pages, and looked here and there at a
detail or two. There is a lot of information here. I know most of
it.. but there are still ideas that are new to me. Stitches and
details that make small differences-some detail that I KNEW (but had
never thought about or analyzed, and really understood.
There are (I think—but it was late,
(11 PM before I really got to read) some cast one variations (like
yet more variations of basic long tail) that are new to me. And
some new bind offs, too. (and maybe as a result, another matching
pair of Cast on /Bind off. But cast ons and bind offs are just two
of many many chapters.
I know this book will help get my
creative juices flowing.. with new uses for techniques—both new and
old.
Meanwhile-- since yesterday the armhole
(newly made) has grown to be 3 inches deep (or about 1/3rd
completed. If I am able to keep up this rate (hardly a cut throat
pace) I should have the vest complete by the end of the week.
I don't plan to rush--and I reading --both the tome and other books will cut into knitting time. But I do want to have a FO--its seems like ages since I have finished anything!
