There's a book out there entitled
"Knitting in the Old Way"....
and I'm wondering if it has Continental/German style knitting or
English/American style
in it?

Noreen,

I have thumbed through the book in the book store. It is more how to
knit your 4 x 4 square and test the gauge, pick out a sweater design you
like and knit the sweater with what ever gage yarn you have, called
knitting the old way before every one started depending on patterns.

It might have touches on our continental style knitting, I did not
notice it. It did touch no knitting multi-color knitting.

It is meant more for the person that want to learn how to take the gauge
and measure to find the number of stitches for the parts needed to make
the style of sweater they want.

Hugs & God bless,
Dennis & Gail

I'll just add one more and say it's truly a brilliant book. I used it
to make the patterns for these:

Thank you, Sarah.
My ISP is apparently blocked from your site, (I don't blame you), so I
couldn't look, however I do thank you for the book review.

Query about a BOOK
 

No worries Noreen, my site is blocked a lot by software that blocks all
pagan & gay sites cos I'm pagan and I have a link to the glbt knitters
website :-P

My old website used to get blocked just because I once mentioned that a
friend of mine is Wiccan!

Thanks :-)

I find that the book is excellent for making garments that fit really
well. I used to use software to make my patterns but I only use this
book now
