I am a complete convert to Elizabeth Zimmermann now. I love her. Hilarious. Her straight forward, complete honesty reminds me of my sweet old German neighbor in California, Ann. You always knew exactly how she felt about everything. Whether it was your parenting, your weight ("you are losing too much weight, you have no boobs anymore" (I wish that was true now! -- the weight part, I still don't have boobs), or the other neighbors. I am reading Elizabeth's book,
Knitting Around, now and am loving her little digressions about her life in the early 1900's. Parts are very Downton Abbeyish. Makes me wish I had a maid and a nanny.
