knitting workshop??

I bought EZ book Knitting Workshop because I read this from School House Press:

Knitting Workshop
� Elizabeth Zimmermann

From �Beginnings� and learning the basics of knitting (casting-on, knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing and casting-off) to �Master Classes� and delving into the more complicated techniques involved in Fair Isle, Aran, or Lace knitting, the Knitting Workshop is a wonderful compendium for circular knitting and an introduction to master knitter Elizabeth Zimmermann. Instructions for hats, sweaters, shawls and EZ�s legendary Baby Surprise Jacket, as well as The Tomten. The book accompanies the video series of the same name, but stands on its own.

I wanted to knit the baby surprise jacket but when the book finally got here there is only a section telling you what newsletter the pattern is in

Is there 2 versions of this book??
is it in there and I'm just Blind??
Why do I always have this kinda luck??

I got it from the library so I don't have it available to find the Baby Surprise section, but it's in there. Is there an index or table of contents? If all else fails it's not that big..go through it page by page.

BTW..I thoroughly enjoyed reading it from cover to cover.

I think the Bog Jacket is in there, but not the Baby Surprise Sweater. I thought the BSS is only in the newsletter.

That's odd... According to these pictures of whats IN the book the baby surprise is there. Click the "view more pix link" to see.
http://www.knitpicks.com/Knitting+Workshop_BD30609.html I'd still check each page to make sure since it shows it here.

I did order the pattern from Schoolhouse Press though so maybe I forgot.. Anyway it's only $3 so it's worth it.

I am making a bog jacket now.

I guess I will just have to buy the pattern, it's just ... I thought I already did buy it..

Double poo

I think the bog jacket is in Knitting Around.

ETA: The Baby Surprise is in my copy of Knitting Workshop (red hardcover). She talks about it on page 100, but refers you to the Appendix on pg 157, and that's where the pattern is.
