If you were to have just one EZ book . . .
. . . which one would it be? I'm thinking of getting the Knitter's Almanac so I can have the Baby Surprise pattern.

What do you all think?

Thanks,
Susan

Is that the one where she has digressions with pictures of herself when she was a kid and she tells her life story in between patterns? I that one.

I have 3 EZ books, and I love them all, they are great for their own reasons. I have the Knitters Almanac, Knitting Around and the Opinionated Knitter Newsletters.

My favourite though is the Opinionated Knitter Newsletters.

I think that there are digressions in all of her books - her writing style is all very "chatty".

BTW, the Baby Surprise is not in the Knitters Almanac, though it is in the Opinionated Knitter Newsletters. The baby surprise is one of my absolute favourite projects that I've ever made. It's absolutely fascinating and it is so much fun to knit.

Whichever book you get, I'm sure you'll love. Maybe you could get them out of the library first, and then decide which one to get?

I have all of them and I have to say that The Opinionated Knitter is my favorite.
