Good luck on the book giveaway and let the comments begin!
best, susie
p.s. I compressed the video for download but I think I didn't do it quite right. I'll work on that and try to fix it. Sorry for any inconvenience, I am still learning how to do this stuff. You can still download the video but it is taking a long time. I'll try to get that time shorter.

Hi Susan!
I happened to be visiting a yarn retreat to buy yarn today......in Dayton, Ohio..... And passed by a large room with a lot of knitting guild members..... Taking a class. My friend and I had been thinking of joining the guild and Lo and behold I saw You!!!! I was so surprised! You may have heard me say your name because you looked up as you were quietly walking in front of the busy knitters. You are right.... That was a very large group! And hope the big screen helped you ! I have all your books and my favorite was making the giraffe!!! I have a niece who I have taught knitting to who is now in love with your Itty Bitty Toys!! Love them!! Hope you got home safely with no delays!!
