Hi Paula!

I came to the blog to see if I was the only Chris who responded here and I was!!!!

I’m terribly excited! I would choose the rose for my yarn if it’s not already taken. My mailing information is:

Thank you so much! And, I’m really enjoying your podcast. I am originally from Dayton/Cincinnati, Ohio and my mother - who still lives there - is Longaberger crazy! I’ve been to the Homestead with her and have quite a few baskets myself. I find them quite useful for storing yarn…..

Thanks,
Chris (happygirl on ravelry)

Hi Paula! Your Summer Flies is so pretty! I LOVE the color. Thank you for sharing the tribute to Bill Miller; it reminds me of the cellist of Sarajevo.

happy knitting!
