But I needed to tell you that I went to my local LYS yesterday (In Mrs Gaskell's Knutsford) for their Tuesday lunctime Knit Group. Now I seldom get to there (I'm a teacher) so usually just go to Thursday evenings. As a result, I suspect the Tuesday lunchtime group is a little more genteel. I'm afraid to say I picked up the copy of It Itches that was on the table and promptly disturbed the entire ambience by snorting at virtually every cartoon I saw. It is a delight! Thank you so much! Your book is an absolutely joy and I hope you can hear me laughing all the way across the pond.<BR/><BR/>Nic xNichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00150476755274772730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-14909962718390098092008-10-28T23:14:00.000-04:002008-10-28T23:14:00.000-04:00I received "It Itches" today in the mail-I opened ...I received "It Itches" today in the mail-I opened the package and sat and read it cover to cover in the front seat of my van in front of my house.

It's hysterical! I keep making my son and husband read parts of it (even though they tend to mock my stash and knitting except when they need hats, scarves, etc.) And they totally relate to so many of the cartoons.
