I don't buy many books, but I am definitely going to purchase this one to keep as a memory of Barb's wonderful spirit, laugh, generous nature and love of knitting. She was a wonderful woman and I think she would have been so happy with the outcome of The Natural Knitter.Kristin Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09038900681076035087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-72628641214155681992007-04-02T14:13:00.000-04:002007-04-02T14:13:00.000-04:00I'm late to commenting, but I had to thank you for...I'm late to commenting, but I had to thank you for your review. Based on it, I ordered the book and it is as beautiful and informative as you say. I think while there aren't many patterns, most of them will stand the test of time.

She and I lived in the same apartment building in NY and would often cat sit for each other. I remember several years ago when she told me about the project. Lo and behold, I see the book and her name. The content is wonderful and enhanced by Alex's great pictures. Good news is that she has been contracted to contribute to two more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-64122864329476383462007-03-28T23:29:00.000-04:002007-03-28T23:29:00.000-04:00I echo your thoughts on the love of fiber that is ...I echo your thoughts on the love of fiber that is evident throughout the book. I knew that the author has passed away and every time I marveled, I sighed at her passing. I love the highlighting of organic yarns, now that I understand why organic.
