Just Right for Smooth Yarns
I love these Zing interchangeables for smooth yarn like superwash worsted or synthetics. They have more drag than Nova Platinas, which I like better for shetland wool that is more fuzzy and sticks together. My only complaint is that they are not available in sizes above US 11. I am knitting an afghan in a bulky acrylic and have been dropping stitches like crazy because the Novas are so slippery. I have a set of Gingers, but they actually have too much drag with this particular yarn. Knitter's Pride, if you're listening, please make large size Zings!

So Much More Than a Knitting Book!
This book is so much more than a book on knitting--it's full of the history and culture of the Shetland Islands and, in particular, Fair Isle. The photos of the area are breath-taking, as are the photos of Starmore's beautiful Fair Isle knitwear patterns. She places her knitwear side-by-side with photos of her inspirations: flora, fauna, pebbles, shells, sand, sea, buildings, taxis, and whatever else catches her fancy and starts her creative juices flowing.
In this book, Starmore has written the most authoritative tutorial on Fair Isle knitting I have come across in my many years of knitting and acquiring books of knitting instruction. She includes in it hundreds of graphs of Fair Isle and Norwegian color work patterns and borders that the reader may mix and match to create unique, colorful Fair Isle knitwear.
I am in love with this book and am planning a visit to the Shetland Islands to experience first-hand the beauty that Alice Starmore so skillfully wove into her Book of Fair Isle Knitting. It is truly a master work and inspiration to the lover of knitting and color!

Great Steak Knives for the Price!
I have several Zwilling JA Henckels knives, so I thought I’d give these steak knives a try. I didn’t want to spend more than $50 for a set of four, so the price was right. My husband and I use them for all the little cutting tasks now—tomatoes, fruit, sandwiches—you name it! They’re so much better than the IKEA ones we were using before! Highly recommended!
