Cynthia B asks …
Are there any "strings" attached to the e-newsletter?
My answer: In the e-newsletter, I am more likely to talk about yarn and thread (rather than string, lol). Sorry, couldn't help myself. But seriously, no, there is no obligation to buy or pay anything, and you can unsubscribe at anytime.
Barbara C writes …
I look forward to your clearly-written knitterly information in each newsletter. Thank you for sharing your lovely designs and your crafty insights that help me visualize and achieve useful techniques.
Karen T writes …
I enjoy your website and especially the newsletters; I always feel like you're a close friend writing to me, you know, those special fiber-friends.
Tinda M writes …
While going over your latest newsletter I felt compelled to write you and personally thank you for all the beautiful things you make available through your website and newsletter. I am constantly inspired by all the projects you present. And I just wanted to take this moment and thank you personally for keeping our creative juices flowing. Your efforts are greatly appreciated and inspiring.
