Donna Druchunas, Shetland wool, etc.

Several of you have written me privately to say how much you've enjoyed Donna's blog and intend to purchase her books, especially Ethnic Knitting. Please allow me to urge you to either write Donna a public note, here at Fiber Femmes blog, or to writer her a note via her web site. Donna is very approachable, very friendly and...let's face it...almost every one who has ever written a book enjoys fan mail. Especially those authors who are also Fiber Femmes...they enjoy receiving mail whether it's fan mail or a question regarding pattern clarification. Oh, one might run across a "diva attitude" occasionally but, let me assure you, that's not Donna. So, send her a note...let her know how much you've enjoyed her and her work. And, if you've completed one of her patterns, send her a photo...she'd love to
see a photo!

Jamieson & Smith Shetland Wool Brokers, Ltd. have a knitting design contest. Submissions deadline is January 10, 2008 and the winner receives 250 pounds sterling. While you're visiting their website, take a look at their free knitting patterns, all, of course, using beautiful Shetland wool.

If you know of other contests, please let us know and we'll pass along the information.
