Quite interesting but absolutely NO references to Australian patterns - the Australian Home Journals for example (did you ever look at them?) or Madame Weigels patterns. So I was a bit disappointed from that aspect. I know it's a style thing but the summary at the end of each chapter that also includes a sentence or two about the next chapter means it isn't really a summary, doesn't it?<br />Still, an interesting book for my library. Thanks for mentioning it, Peter!

How do you feel about that? I was going to buy it but now I am sitting on the fence because being European I started with European patterns.

I have five that I got off ebay, perfect condition, that I can find no info on, not even the wiki (guess I should put them on?) and overall there seems to be a bit of mystery on these black and white envelopes. The seller had a whole shwack of them, too, all 2000 number series. That was a couple of years ago though.jenablesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-22939295968092874592015-04-04T13:19:47.223-04:002015-04-04T13:19:47.223-04:00That book look like a great read.
