Oh but I do like the cardigan. That's three resounding endorsements for that book.
Thanks for reviewing the Knitting Man(ual). I've been curious about it for a while. It looks really cool. =)
That book looks like fun! And the yarn in the picture with it is gorgeous!
i wasn't going to get the man(ual) but now that you've let me see inside, I've decided I need it.
I can't wait to start some of the projects from the new Knitty.
Thanks for showing us all your pics.... and the review.
