I’d forgotten I’d asked for more information about the reprint of Fisherman’s Sweaters. So it was a nice surprise to get the following email yesterday:
Dear Kate,
Thank you for your email and please accept my apologies for the delay in replying.
We have now confirmed with Alice that the only change necessary is to replace the yarn information on the last 3 pages, which explains how to substitute the yarns in the patterns for Alice’s current yarns. It will also be resized and we have designed a more modern cover.
I hope you will look forward to seeing it in the shops in September.
With best wishes,
Caroline King
This is very interesting indeed. *strokes chin* It would seem that if you already have the book, then you’re not going to get much out of it by buying the newer version other than the substitute information – which many seasoned knitters can do themselves, anyway. But it *does* have a shiny new cover and will be a different size and they’re good enough reasons for me to buy a copy.
