Today's the Day

The little counter at the base of my blog page just hit 149,900 hits. At this rate, it will reach 150,000 by midnight. But in case it doesn't turn the corner until the wee hours of the morning, I'll allow entries until 12 midnight on Wednesday, June 27.

To enter, just respond to this post and tell me which of my books you'd like. You can see a list of all my books by going to my website and clicking on Books and Apps in the upper right-hand corner. All books are fair game, including the yet-to-be released Knitter's Handy Book of Top-Down Sweaters.

  64. I would love to have the Knitter's Handy Book of Top Down Sweaters. It looks like a wonderful addition to any knitter's library, and I especially like knitting from the top down because I am tall, and it makes it so easy to add length and knit until I am happy with the length and/or out of yarn.
