Iva Rose

So, my entire inspiration for wanting to learn knitting again was this cardigan Casey made. I just think it is gorgeous, so when she mentioned she got the pattern from a reproduction knitting book from Iva Rose I immediately looked it up and fell in love with about 6 of the patterns. My book arrived yesterday and I am very happy with it, although as I just started a cardigan everything in my new book will have to wait. But, in this post I just want to say how great the service was at Iva Rose. I dealt with Peggy, who was amazing. There was an issue with the payment which she dealt with straight away, and she even found me a link to see some other examples of patterns I had purchased knitted up. How is that for service?? If you are looking for knitting patterns I highly recommend checking out this website.

And I think that is why I love this world-wide crafting community, wether it is the lovely comments people leave, how open people are on their blogs, or the amazing one on one service you get from the online crafty retailers, you get a real feeling of community. It is such a shame that we have to go to cyber space to get that now... but I feel very lucky that I stumbled upon it x
