I was trying to find someone on the PACC referral list near me who would copy a jumper that fits me perfectly, and there isn't anybody on the list who says they do that kind of thing, and there are pitifully few people around me anyway. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to find someone who would do that for me?

Actually, I don't have the space or the time to do it myself right now. If I did, I would have already done it, because I've done it before. I need to find someone else to do it for me, which is why I was asking how to find someone. If I get desperate enough, I can just take one of the two identical jumpers (different colors) I have apart, but I really don't want to do that. I am really kicking myself now for not buying the one that was in the catalog a year after I first bought these, that I didn't buy because it was a color I never would have worn, to cut apart to make a pattern. But they haven't had the style for several years now -- at least not in anything near my size.
I could possibly reproduce it in PMB, but it might not be *exactly* like this one, and I would have to go through the same iterations of trying to make it perfect that I don't have time for. So it is definitely worth my time to just give it to someone else to do who can do a good job and then spend the time I would have spent on it in working to earn more money than I would have lost by doing it myself.
Isn't this the story of our lives? When we have money, we lack time; when we have time, there is no money. *sigh*
Yup. I don't particularly mind it, though. I think it is a valuable character lesson to learn to prioritize things in life.
I'm guessing Pattern Master Boutique:

I'm afraid that these days, those ads are probably going to be the price you pay for having a free service.

Pretty cheap at $5.95/month for their Premium Usenet Service Basic, and it's $3.33/month if you pay for a year in advance.....
HTH,

Newsguy is $5.95 a month, that's less than the cost of two lattes.
IIRC she doesn't want to switch from AOL.
it's not an isp, it's a news server, big difference. You can still have both.
