Notes:
"My son Danny had been attracted to this ballad some time before his death, and I decided to work on it in his memory. I travelled north and researched the background of knitting in the Dales and later commissioned Astrid Furnival to knit designs for the title page and poetry page. Most of the knitted images originated from an old copy of Weldon's Knitting Guide illustrated with detailed wood engravings."--Ron King, Cooking the books.
