I hope no one minds if I brag a bit.  My knitting and writing friend, Christina Skye, dedicated her book,  A HOME BY THE SEA, to me.   This is a follow-up to Christina's story in KNITTING DIARIES, which was published earlier this year. 



Christina and I are both addicted to yarn.  A couple of weeks ago we attended STITCHES EAST--a large knitting conference--where we learned how to cast on stitches ten different ways . . . most of which I can almost remember.   So, dear friends, kindly support Christina.  You'll find  A HOME BY THE SEA on-line and in your local Barnes & Noble and (because of a publishing distribution problem) not in most other outlets.
