can't wait. I've loved what I've seen of your work so far.
Wow, looks good!!
You have nothing to worry about - they all look great!
I am currently convincing my boss to knit this for her daughter who is expecting! http://retromummy.com/2013/07/30/the-baby-blanket-is-done/
Retro Mummy posted it in Bendigo Woollen Mills (Victoria, Australia!) yarn and it looks just beautiful!
And very lucky for us all, our library has a copy of your beautiful book! Wait til the boss hears you have a second book on the way ...
