What is the “portuguese style” of knitting? How does it differ from other styles?
Andrea I want to take the calass at the Yarn Garden on Nov 8. I am leaving town tomorrow morning early and want to be sure to hold a spot in your class. I can call Lindsay on Monday morning but don’t want to miss out.
Dear Kathleen,
Yes, please call Lindsey Monday and make arrangements with her since she is organizing it. I am glad you want to come and i see you November 8th then!
Dear Andrea,
Today is the first time I have heard of the Portuguese way of knitting. I am very interested but as I live in South Africa, where the exchange rate is approximately 8 South African Rand for each US Dollar, it makes the purchase of a DVD very expensive for me as a Senior Citizen. Do you know of any books that one could purchase, and where would one find them? Best wishes, Lesley
Dear Lesley,
I am very sorry for the exchange rate in your country! Life must be very expensive there! Unfortunately I don’t know of any books on the subject: I have been looking for one for years now and since I could not find one, I am writing it. I will certainly let you know when I complete my project.
Thank you for letting me know and I will be in touch in the future.
