The Surprise Jacket Revealed
28. Februar 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Good things about "The Opinionated Knitter"
1. The "lost manuscripts" are assembled for fans of Mrs. Zimmermann's excellent writings on knitting
2. There are patterns you've probably not seen before unless you were a long-time subscriber to the Woolgathering Newsletter, such as a baby blanket, a saddle shoulder sweater knit in the round and some hats and mittens.
3. There is the full set of baby and adult surprise jackets, kimono-style garter stitch jackets knit as an ungainly object that magically assembles itself into an attractive and utilitarian garment.
4. The equally good children's "Tomten" or hooded jacket is in here.
5. There are a few more snippets of Elizabeth's autobiographical musings, not much but a bit more to add to the successful "Knitting Around."
Bad things
1. Lots of photos, but not professional looking. (minor quib)
2. Some of the quaintly typed newsletters reproduced as is, so the text is somewhat mixed.
3. The patterns were done in the pre-charting age, so they are written out in some cases and not charted. This bothers some knitters.
4. The patterns are a bit homespun-looking. Personally, I love the rustic style. But this is not gourmet, fashion knitting. Some people find that is not their cup of tea. This is for the ski-sweater, manly utilitarian and baby knitter.
Enjoy!

Just when I thought I had all her books....
22. April 2006
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
If you are new to knitting and don't know EZ, this book is not the place to start. However, I strongly urge you to start buying all her books, read them cover-to-cover (knitting all the while) and when you know her better, then buy this book and get to know her a little more. In other books, she refers back to these "early years" of her first newsletters/wool gatherings. I had often wished that I had started knitting back then and could see the old newsletters. I even bid on some on ebay!! No need now, because they are here, in all their homespun, original typed glory. Seeing her pencilled-in corrections makes me feel like the recipient of a personal letter, like hearing from a grandmother or aunt who helps with my knitting. Thanks, Meg, for putting all this together, and yes, I'm sure she loves the title.

The Lost Manuscripts
15. August 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The most influential knitter of the 20th century ironically is heard from at the earlier part of her career. These newsletters predate "Knitting Without Tears", "Knitter's Almanac", & etc. I enjoyed the facsimile reproductions. We get a glimpse of her groping towards eps, instead of the fully armed version in her later writings.
Of course, we have patterns in the EZ manner. Allowing the knitter to make choices & decisions. While EZ is opionated in her knitting philosophy she is empowering to the knitter.
I hope members of the "Stitch & Bitch" crowd discover EZ. Imagine what they could accomplish is they loosened their death grip on line by line, stitch by stitch, place marker, make an increase this way, type of boring patterns.
EZ had an interesting life and I enjoy the excerpts from her journals. We get to know EZ not only as a wonderful knitting teacher but a warm, friendly, funny, woman.
As always these days, I think hardcover books are overpriced. I would love to see EZ's books in digital format.
