    Happy belated birthday!
    Thank you so much for your tips on fit and ease. I’m working on my first sweater and have been guilty of just planning to knit the largest size on patterns. I promise to measure and be thoughtful about ease in the future.
    Love you, mwah!

    Thank you so much, Mary…..You’re not alone! I did the exact same thing for my first, ummm, well, four sweaters or so. Keep me posted on that first garment!

    I went and checked out Let’s Pretend before I watched your podcast and I, too, could not stop laughing – OUT LOUD. My hubby usually accuses me a laughing so loud because I want him to come in and ask me what about it. So not true- I just couldn’t help it. I did order it for my Kindle so I’m going to start reading today! I think her being in TX will add to the fun for me since I live in Houston and have been in TX all my life. Thanks for the recommendation – surely her podcast is funny, too!
    Love the show and you are so cute and funny!
    Hugs
