Hello,
It was so nice to meet you two. You sign a book for me, thank you. I was there on the 1st day of craziness. There were so many people surrounding you, and you took the time to talk to me. I want to congratulate you both on all the blood sweat and tears I know you put into the making of your book. You should be extremely proud of the accomplishments you have done so far. Thank you for expanding the art of the crochet/knitting/and the fiber community. I haven't looked at my new USBs yet, but I have looked a bit at the book. You both are amazing. I can't wait to see the knitting book you had said was in the works.
I have been spinning, crocheting, knitting and all kinds of other creating projects for years. I have a project for every mood, no really. I have just started the knitting and crochet again. It is so calming to me. You two are a wonderful brightness in the darkness I have been going through.
Again Thank You for bringing that excitement back to me. Good luck to you both.
God Bless

This book is AWESOME!!!!!! I pre-ordered it last August and it arrived 2 days before my birthday this March(Yay) You guys have out done yourselves. You have included some much more in this book that I have ever seen published before. (And I have many books). If someone was to buy a book about Crocheting this is the only book that they will ever need. I'll see you guys in a couple of weeks at Stitches United so I can get mine signed :)

Hello Gents, I've just learned of you from MARLY's podcast on YouTube. I WANT you say CONGRATULATIONS! I don't wet can even imagine the sleepless nights and covering every lil detail..each one is vital. I can't wait to see how all the things I'm desperate for in one place. Easy to access and ultimately..giggle easy to use. I'm a lil OCD when it comes to details..wanting things to work right, you know, work smart not hard! It's shocking to me..that's another conversion..Lol Anyway, I've the hardest time trying to get the info I need not only accurate but complete. Possibly more importantly, the diagrams ! I'd posted a question..are there and a few minutes later Marly popped open the book and my heart did a giant leap in my chest. Crochet has been a major source of regeneration in my journey back after a brain injury. I couldn't remember how to do a sc. Even after watching a video and ding the stitch for five minutes..ploof! It was??? But with prayer, faith, and continual persistence brain are regenerating at a great speed! But it's a daily necessity. Due to financial constraints yarn and other tools aren't always easy to come by. My point In saying this is to bring up the fact.n when you find yourself struggling..the struggle is OH! WAS VERY REAL, in that needing a reference book to put your hands in to pull back what a stitch is, how it's done, why in didoi it that way and needing a visual aid(DIAGRAMS) TO PULL IT ALL TOGETHER well, I'll just say add there's much anxiety and hands thrown in the air as if to give up until the next trip to the store.Not, just tried another day :-) The funny part is always looking through the same material..just in case something changed haha. Alas it's here! You've gone and done it. I know my comment is more like a novel at this point. However,I wasn't y'all to understand. There are far more people y'all are going to impact with this book then you might have even realized. There are people with limited abilities due to health, injury, or educational limits or abilities..and let's face it lots of figs just get hammered in a vortex of What In The Workd?? Lol when it comes to reading patterns. Lots of folks are visual learners. So on behalf of all of us different needs people..THANK YOU!
I'M SO EXCITED FOR EVERYONE that has a different reason to want or need this long awaited gift ! Keep up the great work. BUT ALWAYS TAKE TIME FOR YOU!
SincereLY, from a grateful heart..
Kathleen <3
