Immersing myself in EZ

It started with a last little bit of writing for No Sheep this week. Elizabeth Zimmermann came to me in a rare lucid moment as the perfect solution for the prose-based challenge at hand. That made me pull out my very small EZ collection. I read Knitting Without Tears and Knitter's Almanac the first two nights. Wednesday, I bought The Opinionated Knitter at the LK s&b and devoured that. Today, Knitting Around.

Does everyone who knits now know just how much they owe to EZ? She pretty much reinvented our craft and turned generations of blind followers into knitwear designers.

Damn, I wish I could have met her.
