HeartStrings - Have a Colorful Splendor Autumn October 11, 2007 Autumn greetings - Although I know I have been rather tardy in getting newsletters out, I want to reassure that I am here and actively involved in serving you. I did also want to give you a brief status on the lack of newly released patterns in the past couple of months. With travels, Dad being in and out of hospital for the past few months (he is doing much better now, thanks), and then computer problems, not much designing work has been completed. I know that you have come to expect a quality product from HeartStrings. So I believe you will agree that I should take the time necessary to do my best in getting out the upcoming new patterns. A few items to note -- >> Interweave Knits Magazine: The #H41 Colorful Splendor Lace Scarf is featured in the Top 10 Picks for Fall advertorial, and the #A49 Flared Lace Smoke Ring will be featured in the Top 10 Picks for Winter advertorial. Just wanted to let you know so you could prepare for customers requesting these patterns. #H41 Colorful Splendor Lace Scarf More info at -- http://www.heartstringsfiberarts.com/h41.shtm Online wholesale ordering at (or phone/email/fax me) -- http://www.heartstringsfiberarts.com/cgi-bin/autocart.pl?ITEM=H41 #A49 Flared Lace Smoke Ring More info at -- http://www.heartstringsfiberarts.com/a49.shtm Online wholesale ordering at (or phone/email/fax me) -- http://www.heartstringsfiberarts.com/cgi-bin/autocart.pl?ITEM=A49 >> My "Beyond the Basics: Knitted Lace" article has been republished in part in the new book _The Best of Interweave Knits_, starting on page 103.
