1000 Sweaters: Mix and Match Patterns for the Perfect, Personalized Sweater15 reviews
Amanda Griffiths

Krause Publications, 2004

An excellent concept

Jill Gordon

David & Charles Publishers, 2003

An incredible value

The price was less than half the cost of a single chart, and the book is filled with a dozen other ...
