knitting in the Old Way

> Hello friends,
> I purchased the book and I love it. I purchased it in a small shop on
> White Water Wisconsin, about 70 miles north of me. I was in White Water
> seeing a friend of my sister's, she was here for Easter. She live in
> Memphis, TN. We were on our way back and just out of White Water we saw
> this little yarn Shop in a three car garage, it was full of great stuff!
> I saw the book there and and after browsing threw it had to purchase it.
> The shop is at the residence of Doreen L. Marquart. She has one book
> just out "Saturday Sweater", "Easy To Knit, Easy To Wear". I purchased
> that book also and some and an electronic row counter. Doreen is a sweet
> person.

> We talked untill my sister grabbed my by the arm and pulled me out of the
> shop. :(
> Noreen and I was talking about "Knitting in the Old Way" a while back. It
> is basicly a manual about knitting a sweater with out a pattern. It is a
> great book for the moderate or better knitter. The author is great and
> very knowladgable. I have knitted sweaters with out a pattern but this
> book is still worth putting in the library. It has a ton of knowledge.
> The second book is book that would be great for the person going from
> scarves to sweaters and that is who it is intended for. I see two I will
> make in it.
> I still like to use a pattern if I see a sweater I like, why recreate it.
> I also use the "SWEATER WIZARD 3.0" and I love it. It is still nice to
> get out the old graph paper and use a couple of measurements and knit a
> sweater with out a pattern. The last was a red and black sweater I did
> for my dear sister in Memphis, Tn. She told me the pattern she wanted
> knowledgeable red and black in and I made it for her.
> Ok enough.
> Hugs & God bless,
