looking for knitting patterns

Hello Els, my name is Bernadette, I live in Scotland. I have managed to find out that Designer Stitches has gone out of business and their knitting patterns are rare but there are people advertising on various forums to swap the knitting patterns they have for those that they want.

hi Bernadette,

Thank you verry much for all your help.

All the best Bernadette
