Did anyone doubt that Pattie is the one for me! Anyone I've met, and especially knitted with, will have heard the words from my mouth: "My friend, Pattie, says..."
Here is the Four Corners Sock Conference: Sue and Pattie with our sock/mitten projects in 4 states at once!
Somehow, after years of living on opposite sides of the Atlantic, and still over 2,000 miles apart, we manage to communicate. (History: We went to high school together, we are "farmers' daughters, rode the school bus together--I would "save" her a seat, she was a bridesmaid in my wedding.)
But about 15 years ago she showed me a quilt that had been in progress for WAAAY too many years (I tsk-tsk'd her), several wonderful baskets she had woven, AND a knitted shawl. I fell in love with that shawl, the muted colors of forest greens and a dash of pink, pine trees standing tall along the edge, and yummy feel, (you know what I'm saying) and I was hooked. She gently snagged me with a few mailed copies of instructions and techniques and it evolved into a religion! We share our daily devotions via email and when our paths cross--- my friend, Irish Helen, would purchase a ring-side seat!
As with most amazing people, she's a busy woman, and I (again) tsk-tsk her that she doesn't have the time to real show her work on Ravelry. It's all right. You'll see the MANY wip's. Trouble--uncertainty? I'll ask my friend, Pattie!
you are too much!!
