TIA Noreen 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 |

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. Noreen |

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! |

Query about a BOOK
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 |
