Wool Gathering
Elizabeth started Schoolhouse Press in 1958 with a one-page newsletter. In 1969, she expanded to the Wool Gathering booklet that continues to this day.
Wool Gathering #82 (March 2010)
Details: Wool Gathering #82, Guest designer, Cully Swansen is featured in this issue with his unique Brick (or Steps and Ladders) garter-stitch sweater.
Constructed in strips (knitted together as you go), the sleeves and yoke section are worked first - from cuff to cuff - and the body knitted down from the yoke with one side seam.
There are two motifs on each of the sweaters shown here: the diagonal design on one side and the vertical pattern (in a different colorway if you like) on the other. Complete instructions, detailed photos and schematics are included. $5.
If you order the current issue or a subscription we will send you WG 82.

SPUN OUT DESIGNS and PATTERNS
When Wool Gatherings become sold out, we re-print the original design in a 1-page leaflet called Spun Out, or, for WG78 and beyond as a Schoolhouse Press Pattern. Spun Out designs are $1.00 each ($3.00 for the Baby Surprise Jacket). Patterns are in color, 4 page format with expanded instructions, technique illustrations and sizing info. We try to keep all of our designs available in one form or another; missing numbers are designs that appear in books by Elizabeth Zimmermann and Meg Swansen.
