She's Done It Again!

This Australian lady is a wonderful knitter and a longtime lover of dolls. She clarifies and otherwise translates vintage doll knitting from various sources so that modern doll lovers can make suitable clothing. I have all Ms. Fainges other books and can't wait to dip into this one. The neat thing about this author is her precision and the way she gives knitting instructions by number of stitches and number of rows. In this way, a sweater knitted with fine yarn for a tiny doll can be made by the same instructions with fatter yarn for a much larger doll and remain in proportion. She gives needle size equivalents, figures for gauge, and detailed garment measurements, i.e., waist to "crutch." I love this author! Her other books are thoughtfully arranged, the model dolls identified, discussion of types of yarn and sources. The book is a bargain, too. Thank you, Marjorie! No, I haven't got the book yet, but I'm sure it's a winner.
