My 2012 was full of creative play- lots of spinning and
dying experimentation, and plans for this year include more of the same with the
addition of some weaving- and hopefully a few more finished objects. I’m
signing up for an apprenticeship of sorts.
I’ve decided to join some folks from the Zimmermania Ravelry Group - our goal -to knit 13 Elizabeth Zimmermann projects during 2013.
There’s no other knitter/designer I admire more. Her
practical and empowering words always leave me inspired. There are so many
patterns I’ve marveled at, but never executed- so this is the year! I expect to
learn much. You can find my project list up there with it’s own tab. I’ll track my
progress there as well.
Leaving you with a favorite and appropriate EZ quote….
“By this time next
year some of these will have been achieved, and some scorned and abandoned.
Some as yet undreamed-of whims will have taken shape. I’m ready for them; my
mind is open, my wool-room full of wool, my needles poised, my brain spinning
like a Catherine wheel. There are plenty of pencils- I think- and where did I
see that old block of squared paper? My
word, such good fortune. I can only hope the same for you.” Elizabeth Zimmermann, Knitter’s Almanac, page 139
Happy New Year to you from the girls and me!
