I have Starmore's Celtic Knits which is by far my favourite of all her books.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I once had the privilege of sitting in a room with all of them. One of my freinds had one of her freinds lend her library to her. Ow. That sounds confusing. So it was the freind of a freinds books.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I got to look through them all. There were only a couple of sweaters I really coveted, so now I don't feel so bad about missing out on Starmore books. I've got the best one!LaurieMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609188211326621400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21993336.post-1160706293650886722006-10-12T22:24:00.000-04:002006-10-12T22:24:00.000-04:00OMG I thought it was the INTHEMAIL date too!!!
