I have a limited experience using them, but my brother has made two for me over the years. I'd love to take a peek at this book. On another subject, I noticed your reply in November 2007 to Saartje on her website regarding the adorable hat she made for Lotte. Their was a link to the pattern translated into English. I started it and am so confused about the pattern. After the seven rows of garter it says "knit in stockinette stitch, changing colors every two rows." Then the next instruction says "On the next round, increase and decrease as follows..." yet it feels like something is missing between these two. I have completed the seven rows of garter and am stalled. I noticed that you made this hat and am wondering if can share any insight with me. My grandson is one year old and I had hoped to have this done already... alas. I have been a knitter off and on for many years, but have really knit pretty basic, functional items like simple sweaters, socks, mittens, etc. though lately I am into knitting lace edgings and such. I'm happy to discover your website and will follow your experimentation with spinning. Thanks for any assistance on the hat. May, What a beautiful looking book on spindles.
