I still have several AB pattern books from that era; came close to casting on for a few designs, but never took the plunge.<br />-- GretchenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-15092572496230982562009-10-24T16:08:04.285+01:002009-10-24T16:08:04.285+01:00I look forward to your thoughts on the Chicago pla...I look forward to your thoughts on the Chicago place names in Lorna's Laces colorways; two years ago, anticipating first grandchild, I knit a BSJ out of LL Irving Park sport weight. I liked the colors, but I bought it because I loved Irving Park when I lived in Chicago years ago!Donicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-47236892383312014042009-10-24T15:22:54.073+01:002009-10-24T15:22:54.073+01:00It was the black and white and grey one that was a...It was the black and white and grey one that was available as that expensive kit. Mine turned out rather like the black and red one and I did knit ribbed cuffs as otherwise the sleeves would have been far too short. In those days it wouldn't have occured to me to pick up stitches and knit down to the length I wanted. Having said that, I think EZ herself said that it was some years before she published the ASJ pattern because of the sleeve lengthening problem. I've been tempted to make a lighter weight one for ages and am looking forward to seeing yours in all its finished glory.Hatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-10055916106475919922009-10-24T14:21:22.519+01:002009-10-24T14:21:22.519+01:00Jean, I just had to tell you this.

Right away I said, "I want to make one of those." (I am enjoying your progress and am inspired) The lady, I am sorry I didn't catch her name, started talking about "this lady in Scotland who is knitting one." "Oh my goodness," I said, "that's Jean." It turns out you have several readers in the room. Your jacket is greatly admired. This was my first visit to the group and it was wonderful to find this commonality.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10200940053036903121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-17820154131752237852009-10-24T14:15:26.112+01:002009-10-24T14:15:26.112+01:00The ASJ sounds like one big puzzle.
