I'll be sure to buy this pattern once I finish the Eleanora socks. How am I ever going to finish my own designs if I keep knitting your wonderful ones?

They will be on my list of things to do, but my list is to long right now to buy them (lol eh maybe tomorrow lol) I got to many of your other projects on needles and lined up to be put on needles! (grin) They are beautiful Mim and I see the doors of Fair Isle slamming open for you =) Bet this won't be the last thing we see from your creative mind eh?

Those socks are lovely, Mim. You did a great job, and the story behind them (and meaning) is beautiful. I plan on buying the pattern for my Nana Jean, who is going through chemo now, but this may have to wait a few weeks, as I just got back from Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival.

Thank you! Next pay cheque, this pattern shall be mine. but, um, like Nanc, I just got back from MSW. 'nuff said.

I really love the thought behind the pattern. The blessing. It's wonderful. Great job.
