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 loved your travel-airport- story. We just got back from Panama and discovered, to my horror, that Panama does not allow knitting needles on their outgoing flights. What a mess. The guy started pulling my Addis out of my stitches.
Well, an hour later the Delta people came to my rescue and I arrived home safely with my knitting in tact.
I love knitting for baby. Looks like lots of nice ideas.
What a great book! Would love to win as a co-worker is expecting her first in September

I'll have to watch the podcast when I get home (they block YouTube at the office, I can't even watch it during my lunch break. :( ). But I was thrilled to see the eBay link to the Van Gogh yarn -- I've always wanted some of it, and I may have ordered a couple of skeins now....

Knitting baby gifts is so enjoyable for me. I love to surprise the parents with a hand knitted item. But parents don't understand how nice it would be to be sent a picture of the baby wearing my hand knit gift. I have never seen a baby wearing anything I have knit for them. Anyway, winning this book would be lovely.
