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.

Thanks for leaving the comment about my sweet chinchilla. Nellie and I have grown close over the 6 or 7 months we've had her. I should do an update on the blog since she's turned out to be such a good pet. Anyway, I bet chinchilla fur would be awesome to spin but they don't shed much, only when they are nervous with someone trying to catch them, then their fur comes out like trying to get away. We got her, cage, supplies and all from a family who was retired and wanted to travel. She's 8 years old and we hear they live to be aroune 25 years old, so it's a bit of commitment! I was so nervous and tripping over my tongue when I saw you at Stephanie's signing last when, October? in Santa Rosa. I'm such a basket case! Hope you are feeling better and they find something that will work for you--easier than chemo. Rest up and keep writing books! Blessings to you, Karen B Hello, Alison!

Valerie (from your Women in Business group?) gifted me an autographed version of your book last year. The knitting world is vast, yet connected in subtle ways.
