So, don't hold your breath on that. I'd like to get it out by next fall, but if life doesn't quit happening, that may get postponed as well. (smile)

I sent her the book in 2009 for editing and critiquing.  She got it and has knit seemingly acres of stuff for her kids and family members.  I also had an 8-year-old child use it with success. She had been referred to me by a professional educator who had said it was the best book on knitting she had ever seen.
