The 128pp includes 17 small drawings of techniques for quick reference (such as stocking-stitch and garter-stitch weaving), knitting abbreviations and symbols, a needle conversion chart and 20 cogent quotes from Elizabeth Zimmermann's five books. I've also included Elizabeth's instructions for wearable art socks and the drawing for EPS Yoke and Drop-Shoulder garments.
