Well, I got a little swatch finished and am ready for this winter's sweater knit. I'm hoping to do something with a few stripes, but I'm not following a pattern other than Elizabeth Zimmermann's amusing and detailed instructions from the 1970's. In my bag is a mix of hand spun wool, yak and linen blends.

Here's a quote from her:

"Good knitting means, like good cooking, good grammar, good gardening and good living in general, just what it says: Read up on the subject, listen to all opinions, do not necessarily follow them, do your own thinking, cut your coat according to your cloth, be prepared to rip (a very purifying experience) and then go ahead and knit with love."
