Thank you I love your website and I am beginning to use your free patterns and there are many that I like. I just wanted you to know that these are the things I am really interested in. Patterns for knitting afghans/blankets; patterns for knitting baby afghans and blankets and toys; patterns for knitting women’s sweaters – mainly pullovers; but a few cardigans; and patterns for filet crochet, esp, placemats, napkins and dishcloths using thread cotton yarn. I know I will need to grow into knitting other things and that I have a lot to learn in regard to knitting; I consider myself a beginner. Intarsia and Aran sweaters and afghans intrique me.
As a retired mental health counselor/therapist I know the therapeutic benefits of both literature and the needlework arts.
I do have a question though, has counted crosstitch and embroidery and needlepoint slipped into the backgraound?
Thank you for being there and taking the time to speak into many peoples lives when it comes to knitting and crocheting..
