Virginia Lee Burton leading a group of designers; Maira Kalman working for The New Yorker; Kristen Nicholas running a farm and designing wallpaper .... all so much more than the simple "knitter," "children's book author," "mother," "librarian." It's a wonderful thing.

The Annisquam beret pattern is very appealing with just enough texture and color to be interesting.<br /><br />Here in the mountains of northeastern Washington it's currently snowing although the weatherman keeps talking RAIN. Sounds like spring to me!<br /><br />Thanks for your generous give-a-way.<br /><br />RASmartWay@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-87495829062797733212015-02-04T13:08:13.202-05:002015-02-04T13:08:13.202-05:00I'm enjoying my diet dr pepper while I read yo...I'm enjoying my diet dr pepper while I read your great blog this morning!<br />Rav ID ddknitterDianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-43299088112563760312015-02-04T11:55:48.627-05:002015-02-04T11:55:48.627-05:00Kristen, Good morning!
