i was surprised to find that i had the pattern in my knitters magazine archives. i use to subscribe back in the day ... when the magazine was worth its cover price.
so, now i can say "i've made one". i may not ever make another one though ... i don't get into miles and miles of garter stitch. i am very pleased with the finished sweater, nevertheless.
i would like to knit more zimmermann stuff sometime. and i really enjoy her writing style. i still think my favorite of her books is _knitter's almanac_ ... such a great read and tons of patterns!
i got a gift certificate to amazon for christmas. it took awhile, but i finally settled on a few books (and a dvd) ....

ooh - knitting classics - love that one - and all the EZ's - super!!
I just won a copy of "The Opinionated Knitter" from a blog contest and it was right on time b/c I have a baby shower to knit for. I should probably make one of those jackets even though I think garter stitch is hideously ugly.
The BSJ looks fab! I love how stripes look in garter stitch - the colors start to blend together in such a nice way. This is a nice one, even if you never make another one.
Nice haul!
ooh, your bsj looks great in the boku! love those earthy colors!
Gorgeous sweater. However, I do agree with you on the whole garter stitch thing.
I just want to come over and touch your copy of "the opinionated knitter".
the BSJ looks great - i have avoided it myself for the garter stitch reason :)
Looks like some good books to enjoy! Your sweater looks great, love the colors!
as the recipient of said tofu sweater, i have to say--i LOVE it. can't wait for this baby to be on the outside and running around in it. thanks!!! :)
Ooooh pretty BSJ! Love it!
Darling BSJ - I have just really discovered EZ, bought the Opinionated Knitter on Thursday and I am so excited, she brings new life to the garter stitch. The Knitter's Almanac is in my cart over at Amazon now:)
EZ rocks.
i love the baby jacket. i bought some boku at great yarns too, and found your project on ravelry--it looks great. -katie at fiber smarts
