UK: Bell & Hyman, 1984. Did you see "Tractor Monkeys" on TV, where the host revealed he'd been sent to Kindy wearing a knitted orange sort of jump suit? You can avoid that outrage on your kids by referring to Alice Starmore's handy reference (I've checked, there's no orange suits in it). 128pp & just too far over the 500g to go in the smaller satchel (maybe get another book & use up that 3 kg allowance). about Alice >>> Growing up in a traditional Scottish fishing community with Gaelic as her native language, Starmore learned knitting and created her own designs by the age of five. In 1975 she produced a knitwear collection which was sold in London boutiques. In 1978, Starmore was awarded a Winston Churchill Fellowship, under which she travelled to Norway, Sweden and Finland to study their textile traditions.
