Dear Sun Spots: I have been looking for a megaphone for a long, long time. I don’t want a big one, just a small one or medium would be fine. If anyone out there has one, please help me.

Dear Sun Spots: Can somebody help me? I need old-fashioned knitting instruction books for newborn to size 1 raglan-sleeved sweaters as I have lots of yarn and 3-ply yarn to use up.
