    <body><![CDATA[EZ will always be great.  In this book she reveals her thinking processes, and encourages other knitters to also be &quot;thinking knitters.&quot;  We can create, not blindly follow patterns created by someone else.

She explains things well, and her style of writing as though she were talking and sharing stories instead of just K2 P3 SSK all the time is refreshing.

But I find not have to seam (well, only occasionally seam) projects to be worth it.  Even if you don't knit a pattern in question, her wicked sense of humor makes a thorough...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12062720">more...</a>]]></body>

I reccommend ALL of her books, I really can't say one is better than the other. She truely was a genius, radical thinker. ]]></body>
