Check out this review:
No joke, when I was looking for Pattern Book the other day, I was having one heck of a time finding it online. When I did finally find it, I made sure I bought it quickly. What follows is my review.
I was impressed with Pattern Book plain and simple. When I placed my order, I had in in my hands within 3 days and that’s no joke. The key is looking for a seller with over a 100 feedback rating on Ebay. I’ve even included an Ebay listing to Pattern Book in this review to make it even easier on you.
Have you ever read any book that has a significant influence on your thinking pattern and your Pattern Book life? What book?
What book it is?I guess many people will answer "The Holy Bible." But I would like to hear different answers. Books on psychology or philosophy. Thanks.

Lots of people start with Don McCunn’s little book: http://how-to-make-sewing-patterns.deofsf.com/I use Connie Crawford’s Patternmaking Made Easy, which is intended for first year patternmaking class:http://www.fashionpatterns.com/ and Winifred Aldrich’s books: http://www.worldcat.org/search?q=winifred+aldrich&dblist=638&fq=dt%3Abks+%3E+ap%3A%22aldrich%2C+winifred%22&qt=facet_ap%3ACrawford prefers to drape the basic bodice pattern if you’re doing custom work, and that’s my preference also; from that basic draped bodice you can then develop patterns that you know will fit by flat pattern methods. http://www.fashionpatterns.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5&products_id=65 More on Crawford: http://www.fashion-incubator.com/archive/on_reviewing_pattern_books/

I don’t have any idea of how large you want this to be but you may want to try this method. If you are able to get the pattern into your computer and see if you can print it out onto graph paper. If that does not work just print it out and make your own graph. Depending on the size you want each square would be measured by inches. So many to each square. There are various types of graph paper and the squares are not all tiny so look around. If you try to make the graph for yourself and use a pen make sure you wipe the tip after every line or one place or another your going to get a blob of ink that will spoil the whole page. email me if you have any questions on this.

here is the link for lionbrand crochet afghans page maybe you can find the pattern herehttp://www.lionbrand.com/content-crochetPatternIndex.html?d=homeaddedonly other choice would be to work a crochet edging of some other pattern around the edge of the motifs after you have joined them altogether. Try searching for crocheted edgings and see if you can find one that you like and will work with your motifsif you need any more help you can email me

Yes. You should reinforce the edges of the envelope with clear plastic tape (packing tape is fine, scotch tape is not wide enough) to help keep it from being ripped in transit.Most importantly, you need to mark it clearly with MEDIA MAIL on the envelope. Check: http://pe.usps.gov/text/dmm300/170_cover.htm for more specifics on eligibility & rates for Media Mail.I use Media Mail often to send & receive books through http://www.paperbackswap.com and it generally arrives quickly and with little or no damage.Good luck!

I have been knitting for a very long time, so most “common” stitches are easy to me. But I have three that are a great source of inspiration to me:- Lace from the Attic, A Victorian Notebook of Knitted Lace Patterns, by Nancie Wiseman is a great source of lace patterns, some old fashioned, some intriguing, most appealing to me when I want to get into a really “challenging” project.- Another lace book: Heirloom Knitting, A Shetland Lace Knitter’s Pattern and Workbook, by Sharon Miller, with even more lace patterns plus some projects.- The Harmony Guide to Aran and Fair Isle Knitting: Patterns, Techniques, and Stitches, by Debra Mountford is to me a constant source of inspiration for new patterns. You can figure out what combination of patterns to use on a sweater depending on the number of stitches and learn to make your own graph.I also have a few other books for stitches that were very useful over the years, but these are the three I use most a this point.

http://www.wilton.comwhat do you need the book for ??? if it’s the 3D pan…all you need is to bake a cake in it (do NOT use the tube that comes with the pan…it makes the cake too thin to stand up) just put the clips on, pour the cake batter into the pan and make sure the rack in the oven is low enough to let the pan sit on the lowest rack. New ovens are usually too small for the old Wilton pans.) Yes I DO own a lot of the old Wilton pans, including the 3D Christmas tree..I threw away all my old books though…I tried to sell them and no takers. ( 1970-2002 complete)
