That stinks...I'm sorry about your aches and pains! That stinks and I hope it subsides soon. I'd like to recommend the *free* top down raglan generator available at woolworks.org. It's a plug in thing so you can use whatever gauge, stitch pattern, etc you'd like. I still think you should get the Barbara Walker book if funds are available, but this is a good temporary and cheap sub.tbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482700126072641960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14488940.post-1140453108412526852006-02-20T08:31:00.000-08:002006-02-20T08:31:00.000-08:00I missed Stitches for the same reason -- and I've ...I missed Stitches for the same reason -- and I've been waking up with numb fingers for the past couple of weeks. I have to be careful because my livelihood involves keyboarding nearly full-time. <BR/><BR/>Knitting from the Top is good for basic technique on knitting in the round. It gives you a good understanding of how things are constructed and lots of "jumping-off-point" ideas. I bought my copy in the mid-80s, and it has a lovely poncho photo on the cover.BerkeleyBeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14744626183468019538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14488940.post-1140447600132240172006-02-20T07:00:00.000-08:002006-02-20T07:00:00.000-08:00Oh, your poor arm!

Not to sound like a total cheeseball, but it's really liberating to feel like you can make something like a hat or a sweater without someone else's pattern. <BR/><BR/>As Yahaira said, it's not really a pattern book, though there is a pattern for some really lovely harem pants that she promised to knit for me.

I have knit quite a few sweaters from the top down and love it. Not only can you try it on as you go, there's minimal finishing when you're done.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959009113795804133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14488940.post-1140441675941339912006-02-20T05:21:00.000-08:002006-02-20T05:21:00.000-08:00aww Im so sorry about your arm!

I hope it's feeling better. <BR/><BR/>as for the book, it's an amazing book. don't expect patterns or anything, it's more about the concenpt of knitting from the top and how to apply the technique to your own designs. I highly recommend ityahairahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679027494838908719noreply@blogger.com
