This week is the 101st anniversary of the birth of Elizabeth Zimmermann, a knitter, whose influence in the world still knitting is felt. Are still often their designs, such as baby surprise jacket, the PI shawl and the February knit baby sweaters and many knitters feel you free to design their own clothes, is based on the lessons of the EPS or Elizabeth percentage system, which explains how many stitches for different parts of a sweater are needed. A knitter can connect post how many stitches for different parts of the sweater in their own instrument and measurements to determine.
Zimmermann was known as rushing for their reluctance and often worked around at a time, if not popular method. She preferred to work from bottom to top, work of the body a garment to Armhole, then work to make the sleeves and join all around the yoke of the sweater.
Although Zimmermann knitting pattern designed prompted them go their own way also knitters, things to try and remember that we are smarter than we think, we think. She was quite smart themselves, their "Unventings", as they knit popularization discoveries such as I cable, which it called credit for wanted to take.
If you are a fan of Zimmermann, I would like to hear your stories about what it means you and your knitting life.
