 Wool Gathering
Elizabeth started Schoolhouse Press in 1958 with a one-page newsletter. In 1969, she expanded to the Wool Gathering booklet that continues to this day.
Wool Gathering #78 (Spring 2008, current issue) features Elizabeth Zimmermann's Butterfly Jacket.
Details: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 WG issues this year. WG#78 features EZ's "Butterfly Jacket" which was first published in McCalls Needlework in 1956; it was accompanied by EZ's Ribwarmer and the manner of construction in each design is related. (We also show the Butterfly being knitted on the new Ribwarmer DVD.)

SPUN OUT Designs
When Wool Gatherings become sold out, we re-print the original design in a 1-page leaflet called Spun Out. $1.00 each ($3.00 for the Baby Surprise Jacket). We try to keep all of our designs available in one form or another; missing numbers are designs that appear in books by EZ or Meg. Read more about Spun Out Designs. |
