This group is for knitters making the Russian Prime designed by Meg Swansen as seen in her book, Meg Swansen's KNITTING.

Many of us are participating in a KAL at the blog RUSSIAN PRIME KAL (Russianprime.blogspot.com)

Quoting from the book: "This circular garment is constructed along the lines of a classic Norwegian dropped-shoulder sweater, with a few added details. "

You can find the instructions in several places:
(1) The original Wool Gathering was #49 (Sept '93) (Out of Print);
(2) A VHS video was made with insert-instructions and charts. (Out of stock?);
(3) The book, Meg Swansen's Knitting, published by Interweave Press. Schoolhouse Press may have the only remaining copies as this has been discontinued by IP.
(4) A new DVD version of the video (with insert instructions and charts) (ETA by early March)
