New EZ Book: Knit One Knit All

I don't know how this one slipped past my "New Knitting Book Radar", but it did.

This is a book of unpublished patterns from Elizabeth Zimmermann - all done in garter stitch! Just released in May of this year, patterns include sweaters, vests, hats, baby items, sideways gloves, jackets, knitted clogs and lots more.

I love the hat on the cover!!!  I have some yarn that I have been wanting to make a hat with, but haven't been able to find a pattern that I liked, or that seems appropriate for the yarn.  I think this one on the cover is "it"!  I have also been thinking of knitting myself a vest, so another reason for getting this book.  And I was just talking to my sister the other day about knitted clogs.  I'd say this book is definitely what I have been waiting for and didn't even know it.  I didn't think twice about ordering this when I saw it this morning.

If you are an EZ fan, you may want to add this book to your library.  I will review it once I have it in my grubby little hands, so be sure to come back in a couple of weeks.  Yay!
