I have received a beautiful scarf from Joanna in Ottawa! She said it reminds her of fall in Canada. Unfortunately I can't post a picture at this time, but I hope to before the end of the month. It has gorgeous russets, burnt orange, autumn gold and a lovely lace/flame stitch pattern. It is long enough to wrap several times. I am planning a trip to Canada this fall so I'm intending to just blend in with all the fall foliage up there. Thank you so much, I love the yarn and the pattern, they compliment each other well. I appreciate your "extra's" too! I hope you are on the mend Joanna, I think our household is finally over all the bronchitis.

To my pal in Oregon, I am working on a replacement. I can only plead codeine cough syrup induced idiocy. When my friend who mailed the package for me (I was supposed to stay inside because of walking pneumonia) told me it was really expensive to mail, I didn't really think that much of it because she was mailing several packages for me. I just hope there is a happy lady in Japan. I will have your package off soon.
