 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 #80 (March 2009)
Details: In Wool Gathering #80, we have assembled patterns for five different hats from three designers:
- Meg's Bavarian (Austrian) Twisted Stitch hat is shown on the cover; knitted in Guernsey wool by Meg.
- Eleanor's Garter-Band Hat; a very snug cap in 2-ply Unspun Icelandic, by Eleanor Haase
- Cully's I-Cord Lattice Hat features woven I-Cord; designed and knitted in 3 colors of Ultra Alpaca, by Cully Swansen
- Meg's Circular 2-Color Brioche Cap with Horizontal or Vertical stripes; knitted in 2-ply or 3-ply Unspun Icelandic, by Meg Swansen
- Meg's Albrecht Dürer-Tour Hat ulitizes an intriguing stitch pattern from the newly re-released Oma's Strickgeheimnisse; uses one or two colors of Canadian Regal wool. Meg Swansen

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.
