I don't have a tablet to download patterns into to make them knitting bag-friendly. Call me old-fashioned but I prefer "real" books printed on paper with a nice cover. Not sure why I fell for this one...Ruth in Ontario, Canadanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-80450934114843070672013-08-21T15:35:44.575+01:002013-08-21T15:35:44.575+01:00Acetate as a stiffener?

You could probably find something at a hardware store if a local crafts shop cannot help. You could also try buying a liquid fabric stiffener at a sewing shop, if you want to stiffen the fabric and not the interior of the object. Good luck!<br />Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-5970428634125866282013-08-21T14:02:01.652+01:002013-08-21T14:02:01.652+01:00I hope you can get the iOS installed.

The most recent is iOS6, for iPad2 and higher, so maybe I'm misunderstanding and you are trying to only go to 5? Of course, then maybe it's one of those differences affected by sides of The Pond.<br /><br />Good luck!Gerrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-32766126254048651022013-08-21T13:53:22.760+01:002013-08-21T13:53:22.760+01:00I'm a couple of days late with this but want t...I'm a couple of days late with this but want to comment on the "No Guns Here" signs. Thanks to the strong gun lobby in the US, many states have passed "concealed carry" laws. Previously, if you had a permit to carry a gun, the weapon had to be visible; now, you can carry a gun and it can be concealed - in your pocket, in your purse, etc. but people and institutions can regulate whether guns are permitted on their premises - hence the signs. I have no idea if the signs have any affect - I think its a feeble attempt to stem the tide. In my opinion, the states that decided there should be less government interference with the "right" to carry a gun are also the states who think its perfectly fine for the government to interfere with voters' rights and a woman's right to choose when to have a child. <br />I'm posting this as anonymous, not because I want to hide my opinion but because I don't seem to fit any of the other categories.
