Since coming out of my cave and discovering the outside world again, you all got me curious and I found a few scans of the pictures in the 2004 JCS Ornaments issue. They're so pretty, and look like I'd be able to work up a few before Christmas...when I finally get my paws on an actual copy. My...

Wasn't someone looking for this chart a while back? It's on the cover of my new Nordic Needle catalog. It was all I could do to wait until I got from the mailbox to the house (1/2 mile) to fill out the order form. :-))) I HAVE to have that one. I also had to order the one next to it:...

I was looking around for Barbara Grainger's book - still haven't found it - and found this place: Books for You http://www.magma.ca/~pvandie/aboutus.htm No affiliation. It looks like a good site, although the site search engine sucks. It doesn't have one. Has anyone here dealt with them? I...
