Hi. We met at Rosehaven and you printed out the welcome to the flock pattern. I wanted to get it downloaded to a USB key so that I would have it for the future. I know that you rightly charged me for the pattern and the printing and i didn’t have a key with me. Last time i was in Picton, you weren’t around but I understand you are in this long weekend. Can I stop by with a USB key so you can download the pattern for me???
I have the sweater done and am working on the hat!

Hi Valerie! Glad to hear you’ve had success with the little sweater. If you like, I could just email it to you. Just drop me an email at cheryl@littlechurchknits.com. I’ll send you the pattern.
Cheers!

I’m in Victoria, BC and I’ve been to New Orleans twice – if it weren’t for the goofy weather, I’d live there!
P.S. You and your blog are wallowing in class 🙂

Oh my! Thanks so much! Is there anything I have to do?

Yay! You’ve received pone of these before, right? (I’m assuming you have because your blog is so cute/great.) Just in case you haven’t, here’s what you do: you write a post announcing your win, thank me (although you kind of already have!) list 7 things about yourself, and then nominate 7 other bloggers! If you can only nominate 5 or 6, that’s okay too. Hope that helps!

Thanks for stopping by! Ha, and I love your about! I try to bake in the kitchen “under the influence” of vodka tonics, folk, pop, and swing music, and Victorian-period movies. And interesting about your tv/film career– tough job! My father used to produce tv commercials here in the States! (But is now retired.)
