WG 79 EZ's Yoke Sweaters; Out of
Stock, see Yoke Sweater Pattern
This is the year we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Schoolhouse Press. I thought it appropriate to have Elizabeth Zimmermann designs for each of the Wool Gathering issues this year. WG#79 features two yoke designs; one in Unspun Icelandic created from a chart found in Elizabeth's papers, and one in Shetland Jumperweight re-created from a photograph of EZ's daughter LLoie.

WG 78 EZ's Butterfly Vest;
Out of Stock, see Butterfly Pattern
EZ's Butterfly Jacket was first published in McCalls Needlework in
1956. Meg re-knitted the design in Ultra Alpaca and Unspun Icelandic,
EZ's intitial
article in McCall's was accompanied by her Ribwarmer and the manner of
construction in each design is related. (We show the Butterfly being
knitted on the new Ribwarmer DVD.)

WG 77 Double-V Vest
I call this design a Double-V Vest because there is also a V in the back; it is filled in and only exists to allow the front and back cables to meet at the shoulder tops. Here you may rise to the challenge of weaving a twisted-stitch cable to itself -- or not! The prototype was knitted in the new Wool/Alpaca blend (lovely) and, even though it is only half wool, I worked crocheted steeks at armholes and center-front. You may prefer to machine-stitch.

WG 76 Guernsey Pullover
Knitted in the round to the underarms, then worked flat to the shoulders-eliminating the need to cut-this is a great project for both beginning and experienced knitters. Insert instructions include numbers for a child's and an adult's size.
|
WG 75 Child's Norwegian Cardigan
Inspired by a drawing in one of Jan Brett's books. The body is knitted in the round with armhole steeks for a slight Modified-Drop shape, and another steek at the base of the scooped neck.

WG 74 Cobb Bay Pullover
A 3-color circular design of Elizabeth's from the '70s, with a garter-stitch yoke and sleeve caps; plus a variation worked in 4-Canadian Regal colors; Knitter's Choice.
