The New York Times [Elizabeth Zimmermann] brought a penetrating intellect and a sculptor’s sensitivity to revolutionizing the ancient art of knitting.
Elizabeth Zimmerman
Elizabeth Zimmermann (1910-1999) was born near London, England, and attended art school in Lausanne, Switzerland, and Munich, Germany, before immigrating to the U.S. in 1937. Frustrated by magazine editors who translated her conversational knitting instructions into abbreviated code, she started her own knitting newsletter and launched Schoolhouse Press, a mail-order business that still sells knitting supplies, books, and videos under her daughter Meg Swansen’s guiding hand. In the mid-1960s she hosted The Busy Knitter, a nationally syndicated public television show, and by the early 1970s had become an icon of the knitting world. This and her three lively instructional books – Knitting Around, Knitter’s Almanac, and Knitting Workshop – are treasured by knitters around the world.
