Also just to get things correct, I repeat rows 1-16 for the length of the pattern which is for how ever long I want to make it.. thank you for any help you can give me.

Wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your stories! They are touching and your shawls are more meaningful because of them! I look forward to knitting one hopefully after I finish the Christmas presents that I am knitting. Your patterns are lovely! Thank you for sharing them! Thank you for your beautiful book! I am enjoying it so much and just wanted you to know! Hoping your health is allowing you good times with family and friends and lots of knitting! Thank you for being so generous and giving! Take good care and blessings to you and yours! Gratefully, Debbie Alison,

I recently purchased Malabrigo Worsted yarn from the Yarn shop on a recent holiday in Long Beach Cal. Is there any one in the UK that stock your yarn or can I get an e- mail order from you. It's great yarn so lovely to knit with. Hi Alison.

I am a very slow, erratic knitter! I cannot obtain it loacally (Vancouver, BC Canada) and I understand from Martingale that it is out of print. Do you happen to have any spare copies lost in a dark corner or under tons of extra yarn. I am always losing books this way. I am always claiming to have returned a library book only to find it under 20 others. Oops! I hate sending messages this way as they go out to the ether never to be heard from again. Ok, here goes anyway. Dear Alison: I recently got your Wrapped in Comfort from the library and would like my own personal copy. I am a very slow, erratic knitter!

Mel did quite a bit of experimenting and came up with a moustache mug design he likes for your dad. The colors came out beautifully! What shall I do with it? AND how are you?? Please drop me a line!

I love your patterns and especially the stories that accompany them. Rancel,my husband and I have a large garden and we are big on compostng. Last Friday, when I took some scraps out to the compost bin I nearly covered a box turtle with them. He was sitting there eating a chicken bone that had found it's way there. My very first thought was Karen's Shawl and it's story. That turtle has been there every evening since I first saw him. Now, everytime I wear my Karen's Shawl I will think of my box turtle as well. I wanted to thank you for sharing your patterns and the stories about them. Those stories make your patterns special in deed. Joy Evans Hi Allison,

There's a how-to-knit-lace-stitches section at the beginning of my "Wrapped in Comfort" book, with verbal and pictorial instructions, if that helps any; it's what I went looking for and couldn't find back when I was trying to teach myself how to do lace.
