New school for the old skool knitter

The online catalog for New School Knitting: The Influence of Elizabeth Zimmermann and Schoolhouse Press is here. Many of the sweaters photographed will likely be familiar, but the materials also include that first U.S.-published aran that EZ knit to Vogue’s pattern that launched her mail-order knitting supply business.

(There’s a magnification feature for the pictures, but regrettably the feature seems to just resize the original picture, which isn’t at a high enough resolution to begin with to allow you to see the stitch definition up close. Drat.)
