Summary: formidable exposition of knitting lore
Review: When, as a naive young knitting-ingenue, I bought this book, I did not realize what a veritable corncopia of woollen joys awaited my delectation. Having opened that Pandora's Box, I now find myself unable to concentrate on my daily life. I eat, drink, breathe, and sleep, Fair Isle knitting patterns. Ah, Ann Feitelson, see what thou hast done to me! Thou hast verily unwoven the weft of my wool.
