There is an app and an ebook. The app is 9.99 and the ebook is 19.99.

link for app: itunes.apple.com/.../id540147052

link for book: www.interweavestore.com/.../The-Knitters-Handy-Book-of-Top-Down-Sweater-Patterns-eBook.html{Field:StoreCode} (click on add to cart and you see $19.99)

Hence my question. It seems someone from Interweave should respond.

Lisa-- I think she was saying that there are a lot of apps for knitting, and that many knitting books are now offered as eBooks as well, not that there's an app & eBook form of the Ann Bud book.

There are knitting apps that have patterns, but for this particular item you need the eBook (and your favorite book reader app). Hope that helps!

Can you please tell me if the "app" content is the same as the ebook content (including all the patterns)? If they are the same content, is there some advantage to the ebook vs the app? Thank you.

This is a pretty and interesting cardigan - although I do like mine with long sleeves (easy to change). However, Kathleen mentioned it being steeked; the description from Ann Budd sounds like it is knitted in pieces, and put together to finish knitting in the round from the underarm down. Quite a clever technique. Maybe Kathleen was thinking of another pattern in the book?

I'm anxious to find Ann Budd's new book for myself!

Sometimes I look at patterns such as this one...and frankly, I get overwhelmed by all the newness staring back at me. Then I move on. I really really have to love said pattern to overcome that sense of helplessness and then head to the nearest LYS to get everything interpreted into English (even if it's already in English). You know what I mean.
