With Blogger, a button, and Meg Swansen's blessing, Zimmermania has hatched! The official start date is September 23, the autumnal equinox, when the special alignment of celestial bodies triples the gravitational pull of woolen yarn. EZ would want you to put that wool to its best and highest use, n'est pas? To join up, e-mail Sarah.
[ps - As a public service, I make no cheesy jokes about Zimmermania being contagious, or about it driving you insane. Nope, nothing like "Catch Zimmermania!" or "I'm a Zimmermaniac!" You're welcome.]

Posted by: Joie at September 17, 2006 12:28 AMOk, I'm trying not to join any more KALs... but I'll mention this on my blog next week!
Posted by: Chris at September 17, 2006 12:44 AMyay! thank you!
Posted by: meowgirl at September 17, 2006 5:48 AMThanks, Jess! I joined, even though I cast on for a yoke sweater the other day, after you mentioned EZ, and I'll probably be done before the knit-along even starts. I will just have to make another sweater when it's done!
Posted by: Adrian at September 17, 2006 9:42 AMI am so excited! I have my knitter's almanac out and ready to go. I think I will be tackling mittens, and perhaps a baby item!
Posted by: meg at September 17, 2006 10:07 AMYay! I'm so excited for it to start! I pulled out my EZ books last night and I'm going to look through everything and re-asses what I want to knit this week.
(Also, how do I add the button to my blog without stealing your bandwith?? I understand this is a problem and I have no idea how to do it correctly.)
Exciting! Knitting Without Tears was one of the first knitting books I read, but I have yet to knit an EZ pattern. What a great idea for a knit along!
