Reference Materials

Sally enjoying Yahtzee

San Diego Fiber Artist is revisiting a couple of reference books that are of particular value.  The first is Priscilla Gibson-Roberts' Ethnic Socks and Stockings, which San Diego Fiber Artist received as a Christmas gift in 1995.  There is much to be studied in this book, which includes many important techniques of interest.  An avid toe-up sock knitter will be able to use the variations mentioned in the book, since they will suit any practitioner.  The second book I am working through is Knitting Around, Elizabeth Zimmermann.  Her Knitting Without Tears inspired San Diego Fiber Artist to try a sweater, leading to many others.  The personal history sections in Knitting Around are also of interest to a historian or person of antiquarian inclinations.  And so on to Yahtzee, if we can get the cat out of the box.
