Is the only way to get this pattern by owning her Aran Sweater book? Ouch! Would love to knit it, but can't locate an affordable copy of the book. Seayorks...

Library? I've been working on mine, and finished the sleeves. I started the back, and I'm having ridiculous gauge issues! I don't know what's going on about...
I have emailed Starmore and asked about the pattern. I called my library and the book was long ago stolen... so, I let them know that many of us are interested...
I had to borrow a copy from the library, also. My local library does not own it, but it was located through interlibrary loan. With the book being so...

Hi Lisa, Thankyou so much, your explanation it is as I thought it must be, IT certainly makes for confusion though . A world standard would be wonderful . So...

Hi Marie, Yes there is a difference!!! Depending on where in the world you live you will use different words to describe to same thing. This link will provide...
Hi there LIZ, Thankyou so much. A wonderful site explaining the mystery of ply. IT is all becoming very clear to me. Smiles. Makes me think also of how odd it...
Thanks Heidi for the informative links. I feel secure now in beginning the ST BRIGIDS project... with this particular yarn. Cheers from Australia. ... you...
Hi Marie, here in the UK we're mostly in the strange position of using a mixture of metric and imperial - depending on our age and when we were educated. ...
Hello Everyone. I'm so excited, having finished everything on my St. Brigid except the collar! I'm just a bit concerned about how that's going to work out....
