Default 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!

Yeesh, Sarah, that shouldn't be a problem on my end, as I visit many gay
sites and Wiccan sites.
I guess I *thought* maybe YOU had blocked me via my ISP number.
(which is why I said I didn't blame you!)
I'll try again later.

Default Query about a BOOK

spewed forth :

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.


PGR also provides basic construction techniques for about 12 different
sweater styles plus brief history of same, touches on yarn types
suitable for different sweaters (Salish-style sweaters call for vastly
different yarn than your typical Swedish or Norwegian, for example),
and even provides some information on spinning your own yarn.

So yep, its a book for people who want to build their own without
benefit of all the "designer" patterns, but it certainly isn't a
simple book

+++++++++++++

Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET.
This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%.
Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account...

You might have tried accessing it when my webhost was doing maintenance
perhaps?

That's happened to me once or twice.

The new edition is enlarged and greatly improved over the first edition!
If you buy one on eBay, check to be sure which edition it is.
