A MESSAGE FROM ENGLAND

I absolutely love your maga-

zine! I became a digital sub-

scriber several months ago, and I

am so impressed. I especially love

being able to access past issues of

the magazine. Tere is nothing

in the UK that I have seen that

caters to crocheters. I have always

had to shop via the Internet and

buy patterns from America.

You have made me a crochet

magazine convert!

BLESSED EVENT

When I received the May

2008 issue, I immediately fell

in love with the Noahs Ark

Blanket. I decided that if we

were ever blessed with another

child, I would make that

blanket for our baby.

We are now expecting our

fourth child and here is a photo

of my own version of this de-

lightful pattern.hank you for all of your hard

work!
