Book Reviews of the Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitting Workshop
Customer Review: Another great book by EZ - knitting without a license
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my least favorite of EZ's books -- which is a little bit like saying that I prefer prime rib to lobster. It's still a great addition to a library but if money is tight, you may want to give priority to EZ's other books.This is the book based on the PBS series she did about twenty years ago. It goes from the very beginning of knitting - how to cast on to some fairly sophisticated color stranding (aka as fair isle).
The bulk of the instructions are pure EZ -- no conventional patterns for her. Instead she teaches you how to measure the body in a few key places and "design" a sweater based on the proportions indicated by these measurements. Learning how to THINK like a knitter is an invaluable skill. And for the faint of heart, more or less conventional directions are provided in an appendix.
Some of the patterns are a bit dated but some are classics. This book includes the famous baby surprise jacket - knit in one rather strange looking glob, a couple of key seams and you have a great baby coat. There's also a good section on shawls which seem to be back in fashion in 2001.
Bottom line: A good book for your third dozen books as you put together a knitting library.
