Love this Book!

This book arrived yesterday. I spent several hours reading the patterns and ordering needles and markers to make the Perrie Store sweater. I ordered this book to obtain the pattern for the sweater by MJ but found so many other wonderful patterns to make in addition to the sweater. this book is an ivestment for a serious knitter. Thank you for making Gudrun and MJ's designs, pattern and wonderful instruction available in this lovely book.
