Elizabeth Zimmermann - Books

This is the year Schoolhouse Press celebrate the 50th anniversary of Schoolhouse Press. They thought it appropriate to have Elizabeth Zimmermann designs for each of the WG issues this year. WG#78 features EZ's "Butterfly Jacket" which was first published in McCalls Needlework in 1956; it was accompanied by EZ's Ribwarmer and the manner of construction in each design is related. (The Butterfly is also available to follow on the new Ribwarmer DVD.)

Her last book (and video); dozens of inventive designs, both seamless and garter-stitch, plus her autobiographical Digressions. Hardcover

This book has been unavailable for a long time in the UK, now to popular demand its back! All of Elizabeth's original Newsletter designs.

From beginning Knitting to Master Classes with Elizabeth Zimmermann, this is a wonderful additions to any knitters library.

For many years, we assumed that Elsa Schiaparelli's famous Bowknot sweater had been knitted by Intarsia. Not so.

Armenian Knitting was used; the motif color is carried throughout the plain part of the garment (trapped across the back) until it is needed. A large and exciting window of design possibilities opened for us when we became aware of this technique.

You wlll find Joyce's Knit/Purl pullover, Olive Branch, and Lily Jacket. Plus, from Meg, two versions of a Monarch pullover and three vests: Butterfly, Cossack and Flower. We get you started with three hats for practice.

You will also find some innovative garment shaping; all techniques described fully including three choices of how to trap.
