The New Knitting Books Are In

I have just purchased Nicky Epstein's latest book " Knitting On Top Of The World" Wow!! I have always liked Nicky and remember her first prize sweater from McCalls Needlework & Crafts design contest in the 1970's.

This book has everything I love. Mind you all of these designs are not wearable...(unless you are a model and a super thin one at that), but some are. Designs do not always have to be practicle. I think some of them are just fun to look at.

In addition to some very creative pieces she gives you history, and the design inspiration for each piece.
