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.

I don’t know if there is one out there. Perhaps in some of the book with pictures of patterns they mention artists, but generally they are unknown because they are just seen as employees and not artists. It’s sad, because they do a great job of illustrating things that can be hard to render accurately.

Not that I know of. However, you have options:1. Buy the book. It can be had for $15-ish. Check here for sellers: http://www.addall.com/New/compare.cgi?dispCurr=USD&id=157241&isbn=9781584794547&location=10000&thetime=20091129061835&author=&title=&state=AK2. Get the book at your public library (or they can get it for you on interlibrary loan). Check with the librarian for their current policy and practice on photocopies. Usually, you can make one photocopy of a pattern for your personal use so you can make your notes on the photocopy and preserve the book.3. Find a similar pattern for free on the Internet.

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.
