ready to go

I am very happy to join the zimmermaniacs. Here is my first contribution.



I had the knitting time of my life. Now my very first Baby Surprise Jacket is finished, ready to go with all its little colorful hearts to a little girl as cute as a doll.
I wish I could offer it hand-to-hand to her mother, but I am afraid that she outgrow the jacket if I wait too long. Babies can grow vey quickly.
So Elizabeth Zimmermann is a genius. You all knew that, right? Yeah, but the french-speacking people don't know her. They don't even imagine that someone as free-minded could ever exist in the knitting world. Her books are not translated, and you know what? I would LOVE to do it myself. So if you are willing to edit her in french, please ask me.



I believe that I have made absolutely no change to the pattern. I followed The Knitting Workshop quick explanation and all went smooth and well. I had figured out myself the ingeneering of the BSJ a few months ago, by looking at pictures and trying on a tiny scale, so I was perfectly ready, and understanding every line of the recipe as I read it. Which must help, because the short explanations ask for total confidence and faith in EZ.
I am very happy to know that I have a lot to knit with her, and lots of wonderfull experiences such as this one to live with Knitting Workshop, but it doesn't keep me from wanting now ALL of EZ's published work. [...]
