About Working with Luna Yarn I found it made a big difference which end of the ball I knit from. For, me, pulling from the center retained the twist of the plies nicely.

Happy belated greetings to CatBookMom! I hope your birthday was fabulous, Barbara. Jill has promised me that those new Just One More Row desigins are coming straight to elann, as soon as they`re ready.

Happy Belated Birthdays to Daryl, Rachel and Chartreuse Shepherd! I`m feeling so very behind on birthdays too - my very best belated wishes to all three of you.

Birthday girl Betsy! I`m toasting you with my first latte this morning, Bets! Your thoughtfulness, energy, and enthusiasm are great motivaters for all of us.

All together now...........Happy Birthday, Dear Alice, Happy............. Alice, Alice, Alice, Happy, Happy, Birthday!

Thinking about your name just now, a rockin` good theme song for our group came to me - Jefferson Airplane`s "White Rabbit"! In our best Grace Slick voices, we all sing:
"Go ask Alice - I think she`ll know!"

`cause she will, and we thank you for it, and for being you, Alice.

PEEKS are up.... It`s very soft, Daryl. I find that sometimes wool boucles can be scratchy, but this one definitely isn`t.

Absolutely Bowled Over by Your Talent! The suspense over the design competition has been killing me, just as it has been killing some of you. I asked Sukeina to keep all submissions until today, and then give them all to me at once, after she had made them all anonymous, and I just can`t believe what we have here. I`m dying to show you, but you`ll all have to hang on just a little longer now - I`ll share all on March 31st!

Based on the huge success of the last challenge, I`m hoping you`re up for another one: http://secure.elann.com/designcontest.asp
Check it out, and let me know what you think!

Humbled by the genius of the last submissions,
Ann

Absolutely Bowled Over by Your Talent! For now, I`d prefer to keep all confidential. I can tell you for sure, however, that there will definitely be several winners in the first round.

Re pics of entries, my number one concern is that I must protect privacy. Once the winners are announced, all those who participated will be free to share here according to their personal wishes.

Absolutely Bowled Over by Your Talent! Thanks for your enthusiastic input, Bets. I`ve tweeked the description and rules of the challenge a bit to address your questions, and I`ve made the page live at designcontest.asp.

To make yarn choices 100% clearcut for entrants, we do have to stick to the current list of elann offerings, so I`m sorry, but Sonata can`t be included in this particular challenge.

I have, however, included your ideas about tams and open circles, and I`ve clarified that the design must be based on a full circle, not a half circle, etc. I haven`t mentioned multiple circles, but suffice it to say that I don`t see a rule that stops you on that count:-)

Absolutely Bowled Over by Your Talent! As the process unfolds this month, I`ll keep your comments in mind, Emily.

Absolutely Bowled Over by Your Talent! Yes, for me, the twist was best coming from the center of the ball.

Okay, what is going on? Sorry, Christine - you`re just too quick for me! I made the new patterns orderable, only to discover that the graphics had not been done for them yet, so I had to take them down again. They`ll be up by Wednesday - I promise! You can preview them at Maddy`s site www.maddycraft.com. Garden Paths was knit in Highland Wool; Undercover Baby in Sonata; Sleep Softly, Baby in Lara; Goes Great with Jeans uses white Pakucho; and Short and Tweed Linie 21 Marly (previously offered here).
