The patterns are very good, and EZ's writing is a lot of fun. Once I'm done with Winter Holiday Knitting, I want to make a Baby Surprise Jacket - it's just too odd a thing to miss :) EZ takes a very three-dimensional approach to knitting. If something should curve, she shapes it with the stitching. She very clearly understands that knitters want to knit, so there's very little sewing up in these patterns. I definitely plan to track down more of her books. reveiwed on blog http://janientrelac.blogspot.com/ one of the best knitting books ever The Opinionated Knitter is my favorite EZ book. Compiled in 2005 by her daughter after her death, the book is a collection of classic EZ patterns, a history of her written works (especially her original newsletters), and a testaments to how EZ shaped the craft of knitting. The patterns in this book are some of the best--the Baby Surprise Jacket, the Modular Totem Jacket, the Three-Spiral Hat, as well as several sweaters in both fair isle and aran constructed using Elizabeth' Percentage System (EPS). They are all written in EZ's chatty style that empowers you to become a master of your own knitting. EZ's charm extends throughout this book and really makes you feel as if she is a helpful mother, sitting with you as you learn the hidden secrets of knitting. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"Many knitter consider the desinger in Elizabeth Zimmermann's Newsletters to be timeless; from her first Fair Isle issue in 1958, to the now classic Baby Surprise jacket in 1968. Long time fans will welcome these old friends and new knitters may discover the freedom and creativity that Elizabeth's patterns encourage. Kaffe Fassett said, "Elizabeth was one of the most extraordinary influences in my life" -- back cover. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
