The folks at Quince & Co confess to a strong bias toward
natural fibers, be they soft and sensuous or rustic and sturdy. They also think
businesses can be good citizens—should be good citizens—without making too much
of a fuss about it. The wool at Quince
& Co is sourced from American sheep and other fibers come from earth
friendly suppliers. If you have not yet

The 100th episode of Knitting Pipeline coincided
with Elizabeth Zimmermann’s birthday.
She was born on August 9, 1910.
Today I want to thank everyone who has participated in any
way during the past two years and throughout the 100 episodes! I enjoy your
interaction and feedback. You are very
much a part of this show. Thank you!

…There is a baby surprise jacket

one someday. I am curious, what is your personal favorite Elizabeth pattern? I
know it would be so hard to pick, but what comes to mind first?
These are the designs that popped
into my mind as the ones I have knitted most often:
- Saddle Shoulder EPS
- Tomten Jacket
- Ganomy Hat
- Two Needle Baby Sweater
Arnold Zimmermann’s books for children were written as
stories for his grandchildren. These are
both written and illustrated by Arnold Zimmermann.

Letter from Elizabeth Zimmermann to me. April 1982
I read a postcard sent to me by Elizabeth Zimmermann on Nov
21, 1980. It also has an original pen and ink drawing
by Arnold Zimmermann, actually a self-portait, on his B.M.W with his goggles on
and beard bristling in the wind.

I didn't have a chance to listen to the episode yet (hopefully this week-end...), but I just wanted to wish your a happy podanniversary (?) and congratulations for those 100 episodes. I can't wait to listen to the next 100 ones :)
I so enjoyed hearing your answer to my question, and hearing more about Elizabeth and Arnold. Thanks for taking time to answer me, and happy podiversary again.
Paula, Thank you so much for sharing the photos of Elizabeth's letters. Such a treasure and I love the motorcycle drawing. What zest for life existed in that family! Andrea
Congratulations, Paula, on 100 episodes! I've enjoyed every one of them.
What a wonderful tribute to EZ!
I remember most dearly, about a couple years ago (I believe it was at the first Camp KIP), my telling you that the spirit of Elizabeth Zimmerman lives on in you.
Now, after having listened to this episode, I cannot help but think of how very proud EZ would be of you and all you've brought to the knitting world--both because of the passion and talent you bring to knitting as well as your having been so influenced by her.
Bravo to you both!
Love,
Lee
Hello Paula:
Congratulations on 100 episodes!! Wish I could be as disciplined as you are in getting the episodes out---alas for I can get caught up in the minutia that is my life! So enjoy your podcast and am hoping to join your knit-a-long in September---was just pouring over the different colors of Tern today on the Quince & Co. website. The shawl is beautiful and truly a work of love--thanks so much for your inspiration and for being that voice that supports the knitting habit that we all love.
Cheers,
Ruth

I really enjoyed your stories about Shell Lake. I attended a camp at Shell Lake during the summer of 1998. It was a jazz school through the University of Wisconsin and I went to improve my jazz teaching skills since I was teaching high school which included 2 jazz bands. I stayed in the little hotel in town which must be the same one you referred to in the podcast. I have some great memories of morning runs on the snowmoblile trails and quiet summer evenings. Great fun to remember.
Belated congratulations on 100 episodes!
