Bond
Buzz, Issue #7
November 7, 2003
Free from Bond America!
Dear Friends,
Welcome again all Bond Sweater Machine(r), Magicord(r) and Wyr Knittr(tm)
owners to another issue of the "Bond Buzz" e-newsletter!!
Burrrrr….. Sweater
Weather is here! And to keep you “in sweaters” (and throws), check
out the new Jewel Box® patterns on the Bond America website.
What’s Jewel Box?? Just the latest new yarn from Caron® International. It’s a 2-ply 2-tone chenille with a wonderful
multi-color “binder” that’s plied with the yarn. Take a
look at the beautiful
palette of Jewel Box colors. Jewel Box knits like a dream on the Sweater
Machine (do I hear some poetry here??)! Unlike other chenilles, it does
not bias and knits up great on a #3 keyplate. Free patterns by Kathy Perry
and I are now on the website.

throw. Pick just one colorway of Jewel Box, and yarn does all the work
for you, adding hues, texture—and incredible softness.
Check out all the hand-knitted
and crochet patterns using Jewel Box.
We have extra inventory, so this is an online special just for you!
(Cording is definitely cool with new books coming out soon on the
subject.)
Also, please note that due to a computer “conversion” glitch, the patterns in the winter issue of Ultimate
Knitting were all rated as “easy.” Hey, we all know that knitting
on the Sweater Machine is easy, but some patterns are easier than others.
So here are the “experience level” ratings for each of the patterns
(and for those of you who don’t have the magazine and the pattern
listing looks interesting, back issues are now available online here.
