A worthwhile purchase, even if you already have the original book, Sep 11 2010
By Cynthia Carter - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitter's Almanac: The Commemorative Edition (Hardcover)
I already have the older edition of the Almanac, so I was of two minds whether it was worthwhile to spend the money on the commemorative edition. I am so glad I did! Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's intro is exactly what I would want to say about Elizabeth Zimmermann, except that she says it so much better than I ever could. And the book itself is much better in many ways. The new color photos are gorgeous, and I love that they mimic the layout of the original photos. The samples are beautiful in themselves, and really show off what can be done with EZ's ideas with all of the wide variety of yarns we have available to us now. The larger format and larger print make the volume much more readable, and I find I am slowing down to actually enjoy EZ's writing and stories, instead of skipping from project to project.I would recommend purchasing this book to anyone, even if they already own the earlier edition.

Updated Knitter's Almanac, Oct 23 2010

This review is from: Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitter's Almanac: The Commemorative Edition (Hardcover)
Its great to see this knitting classic updated in a larger hardback version, with larger print, color pictures, and some things re-knit in todays yarns. EZ fans everywhere will want to have this new version! The Almanac features lovely things to knit for each month of the year with accompanying story and instructions from Elizabeth. It feels like sitting around and knitting with your beloved grandmother.Stephanie Pearl-McPhee writes the new introduction and EZ's daughter adds some relevant clarifications here and there. Otherwise, its the same EZ instructions we've come to know and love, the long written out version and the "pithy" version. The charts are still hand-drawn, I'm surprised they didn't update those too.

This review is from: Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitter's Almanac: The Commemorative Edition (Hardcover)
I've had this book in paperback for years but couldn't resist it in hard cover. It looks and feels great. The photos are now in updated colors and look beautiful. The slightly larger font sure doesn't hurt! Also, there is a bonus pattern that I would like to make. EZ fans will love this book. If you want to learn to trust your knitting, this book is for you. Even if you're a brand-new knitter, buy this book and let it inspire you.
