Especially if the pattern/book makes a point of using a certain ruler - - - -
In many cases, I am able to translate/transpose the instructions to a ruler I already have - but in some cases, it just is not worth the effort and chance for multiple errors.
It does annoy me, though, to have bought a specialty ruler - such as the spider web one - and then "better" versions come out that I would like better.
