This is off Topic, but I am so full of complaints and disappointments--- that i share and work on here-- that i wanted to share a ray of hope.
I got a box the other day from Simon and Schuster... i had not clue what it was til i opened it...
My 2010 Crochet A Day Calendar arrived and my Flower Link scarf patternis in it!
This particularly sweet, not only because the pattern was rejected by Interweave ( so if at first you don't succeed try, try again)
but because my model was my visually challenged neighbor from the complex I stayed in, in Rochester while learning to live my life anew as a paraplegic and awaiting my home's rehab.
It was a hellishly hard and horrible time and I missed the art i used to make and crochet was both a salvation and communication. I offered weekly crochet lessons in that building.
The picture was taken on a sunny but chilly day in the courtyard I used to love to roll to...
the pattern was about turning poison into medicine. by hand from heart --
