"Reading this wonderful book is like taking a master class with two of the most knowledgeable, gifted, and generous teachers in the modern knitting community." -Melanie Falick, author of Weekend Knitting, Kids Knitting, and Knitting in America, and co-author of Knitting for Baby

"If this book were a movie, it would evoke Lawrence of Arabia-an epic tale of passion, dedication, and persistence. Here the authors pursue the unwritten knitting tradition of those old-time and ethnic knitters who created well-fitting sweaters using a mental schematic instead of written instructions."

-Library Journal starred review

"When it seems there's nothing more to learn about knitting, I pick up a book by Priscilla Gibson-Roberts and I'm inspired by my craft all over again. There's nothing 'old' about Knitting in the Old Way-on the contrary, it's the book to turn to for the excitement of the new." -Pam Allen, Editor of Interweave Knits and author of Knitting for Dummies

"Knitters rejoice! Here's proof that excellence can be improved upon. Knitting in the Old Way is back-bigger and better. This extensively revised edition deserves a prominent spot on every knitter's bookshelf."

-Ann Budd, author of The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns: Basic Designs in Multiple Sizes and Gauges, and managing editor of Interweave Knits

"Knitting in the Old Way was a classic the moment it appeared and never should have been out of print. Now this newly revised and enlarged edition improves even on the old. It is a great gift to knitters old and new. Thanks and praise to Priscilla for giving it to us!" -Anna Zilboorg, author of Knitting for Anarchists, Fancy Feet, Magnificent Mittens, Simply Socks, 45 Fine and Fanciful Hats to Knit, and Socks for Sandals and Clogs
