What People Are Saying

Kristen Nicholas
Anna Zilboorg is a modern master ... her love of ethnic and antique textiles combined with a natural ability to use color faultlessly creates an outstanding collection of mittens. Fanciful shaped cuffs inspire the knitter ... This is a book to keep in your library forever. (Kristen Nicholas, author, Kristen Knits)
Meg Swansen
Magnificent, indeed. Largess to knitters from an extraordinarily talented team; concisely written and edited text; splendid photographs; and scores of mittens of sheer exuberance—in both design and color. (Meg Swansen, Schoolhouse Press)
Nancy Bush
Brings to life Anna's love of color and pattern. This collection offers interesting techniques, from the mittens' unique beginnings to their decorative finishings. (Nancy Bush, author, Folk Socks)
Robin Hansen
Anna Zilboorg has reinvented the mitten and given us clear instructions to knit a bundle of beautiful, warm mittens. I can't wait to try knitting a pair of tip-first mittens. (Robin Hansen, author, Fox & Geese & Fences)

    Magnificent sums it up!

    Anna has brought to us a beautiful book, containing many glorious samples and examples of items that inspire my creativity. Too soon to have knit anything yet, I'm thinking socks using chart 5-5 and mittens with 4-15 with variations from multiple different cuffs!
