More From Knitting Camp

While we were there, the "Armenian Knitting" cover had been sent back from the printer to be proofed. Here is Meg and Joyce Williams, co-authors, taking a peak for the first time.
We received just a taste of this technique. As Meg pointed out, those a little nervous about intarsia can fear no longer. This technique carries the CC along the back the entire garment.



The Elizabeth Room......
Crack open any of EZ or Meg's books and find a sweater pictured. That exact sweater, my friends, is here. *gasp* I know, I know. (...we even were encouraged to try them on...this may have been worth the price of admission alone)


A Joyce Williams creation. Yes, pictures of the KNIT stitch on the front, PURL on the back and a little GARTER stitch thrown under the arms for good measure.




The Aran Coat from Knitting Around



I know, I know. Imagine back to the moment when you realized that you could laugh in the face of a dropped stitch? No big deal, right? Steeking is almost the same thing once you have done it a few times. Now, I haven't used it in a real sweater yet, although there is one started now. A new sweater for the 2 footer will be the guinea pig. Knit a swatch and try it. No need to knit up a big sweater. Isn't is magical....
