WelshHelen (United Kingdom) (2009/03/12): Excellent book, written in her own unique style. There were quite a few laugh-out-loud moments, especially at her asides and all her "Ask me how I know," comments. I particularly love this, about knitting button bands:"After much experimentation, I have determined my own system for determining band length. I knit until I feel like I'm going to scream. Then I have a cup of coffee and knit until I feel bitter, burning resentment. Then I measure, have a little cry, and knit until I feel the apathy of the doomed. That is usually the right length." lol! That sounds about right!
