That just warms my heart to read that you are thinking of the knteitrs that receive your books. I am so excited to get my copy, I have started Buds and Blooms and am enjoying the pattern. It is funny how Ravelry and blogs make designers much more real to the average knitting like myse and challenges us to knit beyond our present experience because we know there is a real person who would answer any questions if we got stuck! Hope that mountain of books moves out your door real quick.....I will be checking my mail box!
