Book - Knitting Around

This book is intended as a companion to the Wool Gathering video series with Elizabeth Zimmermann and Meg Swansen, but you don't need the video to knit the patterns. Zimmermann is a legendary knitter, who encouraged trying new approaches and not just following a pattern. The book includes an autobiography of sorts, woven around the knitting patterns. There are nine basic patterns, but each one then includes what Zimmermann calls "digressions" where she shows how to take the design in different directions.
