Well folks, we did it again!

Your overwhelming response to last week's review of "The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns" bumped Ann Budd's book into Amazon's Top 100 list.

This week I continue with the design-it-yourself theme by looking at one of the most powerful design tools on the market. Unlike Budd's book, however, this one requires electricity and a microprocessor.
