Patricia Roberts Knitting Patterns - help tracking one down

Having recently revived my knitting skills I am gutted to discover I have chucked out all my fabulous Patricia Roberts books from the '80s. Especially having seen the prices they go for on Amazon.

I am particularly interested in tracking down the pattern for a white cotton cardigan I knitted in the late 70's / early 80's that I still wear. I remember it making my fingers bleed the needles were so tiny and the cotton so stiff. But it is totally amazing and still draws gasps of admiration when I tell people I knitted it Blush. It's a kind of texture patchwork with lots of lovely square motifs that would be beautiful for Woolly Hugs blankets.

Ring any bells? Anyone got the pattern? Any suggestions for sources?

Ravelry is your friend :)
I just had a quick search on there and there are 35 Patricia Roberts patterns

Is this site of any use?

You need to hover over the blank square where a picture of the book would be, then click on the little panel that comes up.

Doh! already on Ravelry. Looking at those pictures the 80's just came flooding back. And I must have knitted a dozen Sugar Plum cardigans for friends and family.

Scrabble is the one I want.

Thank you!

Um, I'm on Ravelry but I can't see how to download the pattern? Or can't you?

It seems to be that you need to get the book Confused but it's out of print. on the site Kurri linked to, you can buy her second knitting book fot ?2.70 so not too bad.
