A whole book full of mittens!
Actually, I think the correct quote from Pride and Prejudice is “A whole camp full of soldiers!” (uttered by Lydia).
Why is there not a single online bookstore in this rotten country that sells this book? Argh! I want it! (And preferably yesterday…)
I’ve had dealings with the Swedish post today. They’re why this is a rotten country. At least today; maybe I’ll think better of them if and when they deliver a certain package to a certain person.

I love that book! I ordered it recently and can’t wait to knit a pair (or two or five) up!

The problem could be that the publicher doesn’t discount their prices for sellers like Amazon. It’s a smaller publisher, here in WI, called Schoolhouse Press. It was started by none other than Elizabeth Zimmerman and is run today by her daughter Meg Swanson. Here is the link.

I think Amazon is supposed to have it in stock, but the problem is shipping to Sweden takes weeks and weeks… and then there’s always the risk of customs trouble
Thanks for the tip about the publisher — I’ll probably email them and see what they say!
