Thanks, Jennie. I’ll be happy to consider your comment a very welcome secondary bonus of embracing 1-star reviews. More so, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the crochet!

Kim, perhaps it runs counter to the purpose of embracing 1-star reviews, but I have to say I disagree with everything in those two reviews. I taught myself to single crochet on my own and then bought Teach Yourself Visually Crochet. I’ve loved it so much, I gave in to my already existing urge to buy your other books. I turn back to it any time I need a tip, including on how to do the very things the second reviewer claims it doesn’t explain!
I guess my point is, good for you for owning those reviews – it’s inspiring – but know that somebody out there likes your work. I just don’t happen to like Amazon. ;)

Oh, and of course that French press could use a smocked jacket. :D I’m revising and reformatting the pattern; it’s been a slow, steady fundraiser for Knitters Without Borders and I’m hoping that an improved version will nudge more people into buying rather than just downloading it for free.

I’ve been a Scalzi reader for years! Making Light, a group blog he sometimes pops up on, has a fair share of knitters so I suppose it’s not a surprise we’re reading his blog too.

[...] readers, go read the Whatever and do indulge my recommendation of Scalzi’s books (even the ones I haven’t read yet). Crochet and sci-fi go very well together. Perhaps we can have a discussion about why; I’m [...]

Imagine my surprise to see your name on The Whatever. My needle & hook/fiber craft obsession collides with my love of Scalzi’s blog. I can’t get anyone to read The Whatever, even tho I’ve tried and linked to it several times. Thanks for participating in his One Star Challange. At least I know there is another fiber addict out there who reads what I do.
