Happy happy

I just finished reading your interview for Liat at KnitFreedom and wanted to thank you for your beautiful patterns and gorgeous yarns. I recently finished the Guernsey Wrap in Woodsmoke and would like to share with you my comments posted on Ravelry under my username “Redhayr”:

I was initially intimidated by the charts for this project … but after hyperventilating into a brown paper bag and regaining my composure, I realized that I CAN DO THIS! Note: I enlarged the charts to accommodate my 63-year-old eyes and drew arrows indicating which direction to read the charts (something about short-term memory perhaps).

But I digress … I love this pattern, especially once I was past chart A. Next hurdle … blocking rods. After a little on-line shopping, I was down to the finish line … soaked, rinsed, stomped out the excess water … and discovered I needed to put the leaf in my dining room table. Finally, time for the rods. As I was carefully threading these fine rods through the very long wrap, I felt like a cardiac physician performing an angioplasty without any risk of patient mortality.

And I now proudly say, “Jared Flood, I am no longer afraid of you and your magnificent patterns!” I DID IT!

love the patterns – can’t wait to buy

Hello:
Thank you for the photos of knit patterns. I am very much interested in learning about wool yarn. Also in felting.
Thank you,Sharon
