Thank you! Flora, it is beautiful and I am sure will be treasured by your daughter and others. One of my most treasured pieces of needlework is a bedspread my grandmother crocheted for me over 40 years ago when I got married. I don`t have that husband anymore but I still love the bedspread and that my grandmother loved me so much that she made it for me. :)

Aran Knitting by Alice Starmore republished Alice Starmore/Virtual Yarns announced today that Dover Publications is reprinting Aran Knitting and it should be released in the fall of 2010! Oh my, this is such good news for all of us who love her Aran sweaters and couldn`t find or afford the book on secondary market. :)

Standing here clapping Each time someone wears one of the caps made by these patterns, your mother is honored, Ann. Your desire to help others honors her and shows that out of the deepest sadness, courage and kindness endure.

Oops, there`s that pesky word again - u-p-d-a-t-e Barbara, your post about the Kelmscott pattern won`t open because you used the word "update" in the title. I did that recently; actually, I think I did it several times. Ack! Slow learner, I am. :)

As well you should, Daryl! Excellent sweater, Daryl! I must confess that I have been the mom who repossessed articles of clothing that were not being appreciated to their maximum potential. Good for you, it suits you to a T.

Emoticons are driving me crazy! So, my old email program let me remove those pesky smiley faces. Then the company goes belly-up and I am forced to find another email program which my darling spouse picks out for me. It seems fine, works well, lets me remove emoticons and I`ve adjusted. Okay, cool. It turns out that there is some kind of bug or software fail or something wrong, because even though I have turned off those STUPID SMILEYS, they weren`t really turned off. As a consequence, I have been blitzing people with those stupid blinking things and didn`t know it! ARGH! I`ve googled, I`ve tinkered, I`ve done all the things it says to do to turn them off and they will NOT turn off. Stupid free email program, it`s hard to complain if it`s free but I am being reminded of Hal in "2001: A Space Odyssey." I swear, if my computer calls me Dave, I`m going to fire up the bulldozer and run over it.

This was intended to be an apology to all of my innocent stupid smiley victims but I think I crossed into the raving zone. I now need to remember what it is like to write well enough that I don`t have to worry about smileys conveying tone. This means I have to be more clever which could be a problem. Exponentially, my clever factor has gone down as the number of procedures and surgeries have increased, and we won`t even start on what happens when you factor in the age number.

If you are a helpless victim of me running amuck with those little yellow discs, please know I didn`t mean to send you something that looked like a preschool coloring sheet. I`ll try and do better.
