Yet I am still reading daily and enjoying your wisdom! Thank you for continuing to share with us. You are such a wealth of knowledge. I appreciate the time and energy that you still commit to giving us in "blog land". I am excited to hear that the book could be out on the market by mid-March!! Wow! I will be looking for it.

It is truly the best potholder I have ever had, but I didn't need to do any sewing. I just knitted it with my usual cotton yarn, using about three strands and as thin a needle as I could use and still actually manage to knit. It produced a beautifully thick knitted cloth which is still flexible. I never feel the heat through it even with my very sensitive fingers. Makes your fingers sore to knit it, but definitely worth the trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-36023127950509053332009-01-28T06:26:00.000+10:002009-01-28T06:26:00.000+10:00I love reading your blog..we try to live simply bu...I love reading your blog..we try to live simply but there is always more to learn.<BR/>Looking at your garden pictures makes me long for my garden but I will have to wait till the snow disappears!
