Knitting Without Tears in my Basement

Well, I was downstairs cleaning out my basement yesterday, trying to clean out some old books, when low and behold there was a copy of Elizabeth Zimmerman's Knitting Without Tears. I couldn't believe it, I must have picked it up sometime when I was out thrift-store shopping years ago.

I must admit, I haven't looked into her stuff too much. But, Zimmerman is endlessly referred to, so I'm happy to jump on the bandwagon.

I read through the book yesterday and found her directions fairly understandable. I felt very motivated to try designing another sweater without a pattern. What a great surprise.
