I'd also like to see a hard copy of this one.

I like to knit from the top down whenever possible, and I've been a knitter for a while. I'm planning a raglan, top down sweater for my grandson, and I want to run a wide cable pattern down the front. Charted cable patterns are written from the bottom up. For a top down pattern, should I just turn the pattern upside down and work it that way? Swatches to come, I can tell. Any ideas out there?

I have Wendy's book and like it. However, I have had many troubles with the back neck stretching out too much when using a provisional cast on. I make a regular cast on and then pick up the stitches. This is a little more time intensive, but the shoulders continue to fit for many years. I have also "fixed" this after the fact by crocheting a slip stitch along the back neck cast on stitches.

Does Wendy Bernard have a hardcopy version of this?
