Well, firstly we have been able to add some lovely new colour samples to the mix. It is never easy to add colour into a design and still retain that wonderful double-sided character, so we are very pleased to have some lovely new examples for you to try.&nbsp;<br /><br />We also had some requests after we published the last edition. One lady asked whether we could add some more easy one-row stitches she could knit while travelling. Then at the other end of the spectrum, we heard from a knitting guild who wanted some more complex designs they could set themselves as a group challenge.&nbsp;</span><span>Both of those were fun to explore and we managed to add a number of double-sided stitches in both of those categories.&nbsp;<br /><br />We also took the opportunity of a new edition to expand the Introduction section, with some extra notes on using stitch charts, equipment you'll need plus yarn and colour choices.</span></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-thin " style="padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a href='https://www.wyndlestrawdesigns.com/store/p5/reversible_knitting_stitches.html'> <img src="https://www.wyndlestrawdesigns.com/uploads/1/5/0/0/150078751/editor/4c-reversible-knitting-stitches-by-moira-ravenscroft-anna-alway-wyndlestraw-designs-m.jpg?1766512531" alt="Reversible Knitting Stitches by Moira Ravenscroft & Anna Alway, Wyndlestraw Designs" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph" style="text-align:center;"><span>The e-book can be opened&nbsp;</span><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)">on any compatible device, such as a computer, phone, iPad or tablet using a pdf reader such as Adobe Reader. <br /><br />&#8203;You can pinch-&amp;-zoom in to see details such as stitch charts more easily, and i</span><span style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34)">ndividual pages can also be bookmarked or printed out for later reference.</span></div>  <div><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-thin " style="padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-align:center"> <a href='https://www.wyndlestrawdesigns.com/store/p5/reversible_knitting_stitches.html'> <img src="https://www.wyndlestrawdesigns.com/uploads/1/5/0/0/150078751/editor/4d-reversible-knitting-stitches-by-moira-ravenscroft-anna-alway-wyndlestraw-designs-m.jpg?1766513917" alt="Reversible Knitting Stitches by Moira Ravenscroft & Anna Alway, Wyndlestraw Designs" style="width:auto;max-width:100%" /> </a> <div style="display:block;font-size:90%"></div> </div></div>  <div class="paragraph" style="text-align:center;"><span>We really hope you enjoy this new version and that you'll have fun exploring all the wonderful double-sided stitches in the collection.&nbsp;<br /><br />You can purchase this new version of the book&nbsp;<a href="https://150078751-864252888407811842.preview.editmysite.com/store/p5/reversible_knitting_stitches.html">by clicking here</a>.
