[Ansteorra-Textiles] Sprang

[HLDarcy]

Ah, yes, the lovely Collingwood book.  My library withdrew it and I snatched 
it up for $1.00.  (It helps to work in a library.  We did a massive weeding 
last year and I gobbled up lots of craft books before they made it to the 
Friends sale.)  Collingwood now resides in the Burkhaven Library available 
for anyone to use.
