Work again). Then I could print out the text myself, if I wanted it on paper.<br /><br />Or maybe even an either/or option? So that those weavers who don't want to muck around with computers can get the book ready-to-read?Klaranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-3877123996738413422012-07-20T18:32:37.195-07:002012-07-20T18:32:37.195-07:00Check my blog -- http://secondwindjewelry.com/jewe...Check my blog -- http://secondwindjewelry.com/jewelry-weaving-blog/2012/07/a-little-of-th…little-of-that/ -- for a photo of my package of A Good Yarn.

My now perfect selvedges didn't cost me a dime just a few minutes of<br />a Laura Fry free tutorial! This knitpicking about shipping is sad.

As much as I would love to study with you in person, I can afford your publication a lot easier than travelling. Thank you so much, I appreciate your angst but I prefer truthfulness in my purchases.
