A great find!
I actually found this book in a knitting shop in Tokyo. The proprietor told me it was one of her best sellers because it had an international scope and used many techniques for many skill levels. I read the book on the plane home and could hardly wait to cast on. I started with the Sakiori vest in honor of my Japanese "find". I plan to knit many more of these gems and hope to learn a lot more about knitting techniques in the process. It is my home town knitting group's' favorite new book now too.
Knitting Folk Vests
I have always wanted this book. So HAPPY with it. All of the patterns are wonderful. A friend snatched the book off the table and tells me she is going to return it soon.
Check out from library instead
This book is ok. Once you realize the same basic shape is in all of the vests you start looking at the shoulder shaping instead. I did not care for her gauge example on several vests, same number of cast on stitches just change needle size! Also, doesn't really address sizes out of the "normal" ranges. Nor does it explain how to knit a vest with your gauge, pattern etc. to fit your size.
