I dove into this fantasy series with the second book, since the first was checked out and I&#8217;m occasionally impatient.

Not everything in this book appeals to me stylistically, but some pieces are exceptional. She has very clear descriptions of different styles of knitting and stitch types, including the what, how and especially the <em>why<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Peter Blaylock: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0441004903?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=phialasstring-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=0441004903\">All the Bells on Earth<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=phialasstring-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=0441004903\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/>.
