- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The world lost a wonderful knitter and teacher when Ms. Zimmermann died. I would have loved to have the chance to meet and knit with her.
This is an excellent book for knitters of any level. Once you can knit and purl, this book can help you do pretty much anything else you may want to do :) - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5book with designs for every month of the year. Author was influential and loved knitting teacher.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Monthly patterns in her folksy style with a great lace project
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is one of the few knitting books I read for pleasure. EZ's writing style is such that you get a feel that you are actually with her when she comes up with some of these patterns that she "unvents."
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5She is a great writer, a real artist, I enjoyed every line of this book!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I've been thinking of delving into the world of knitting design for a while now and reading this book stoked my desire to do so. Zimmerman's voice is completely her own and I appreciated the no-nonsense approach to being a "thinking knitter."
Note: this isn't really a pattern book, so if that's what you're looking for, I wouldn't recommend it. There are "patterns" but they read more like design notes than anything else.1 person found this helpful
