It struck me as the latest in a long line of books aimed at giving people
permission to experiment with their knitting. Personally, I gave myself
that permission about 30 years ago!

Thank you Slinky and Helen , as i wonder on which book to spend my not
too large self budget, your insights are worth Purls !!!!sorry meant
to write Pearls of course !!!!
So buy it or not buy it ? is the question??? I think me too Helen have
slowly loosened the grips of "Must and Must not rules" about 30 minus
plus years and still am breaking some rules every time ,,,

Which is why it's especially funny that I just bought a 2 volume set books
called The Right Way to Knit! What can I say? I was walking into the
library sale room as one of the workers was putting something on the
needlecraft shelf, so I looked. At $1 each, they seemed to have more than
enough hints in them to be worth adding to my collection.

I wouldn't mind all the extra notices, if I didn't miss issues in my
subscriptions! That seems to happen more and more often lately.

So true!

I agree with you, Els. I have renewed subscriptions well in advance,
only to have the magazine close down and I lost my money. I also live
on a budget, and really can't afford to do this. My local newsagent
has finally been ablt to get one of the magazines I want, but so far,
no FCEK. So I get that one when I am in Halifax, or ask my DIL to get
it for me. For me, it is cheaper to buy some of them on the newsstand
than to subscribe to them.

I agree, but there are probably a lot of people like me out there who
aren't particularly daring or self-confident, and need guidelines on how
to experiment...just as some people really need to follow recipes for
years before they grasp what can and can't be experimented with for
cooking. I've taken what I considered daring steps in knitting, and
most have worked out, but they're pretty wimpy compared to, say, yours
or Slinky's or Mirjam's!

I think if I didn't already have so many knitting books in that genre, I
might be tempted, but I have such a big collection that I'm very hard to
tempt these days, especially at new book prices.

I quess it is buyer beware.....you always have to check everything that
needs payment, I find. We bought lots of groceries, last week for over
$300 in one time. We always check the bill and there are always
mistakes. This time we bought I pack smoky sausages, and were charged for
two.....that is a difference of $6. Thus you troop back to the store and
get it corrected....story of my life......LOL
