Traffic Report Deborah Tomasello is writing a book about our knitting stories. If you are interested in contributing please send an email to Deborah (coedeborah [at] aol [dot] com) with the following: Name____________________________________________ Please contribute to this book effort. My idea is to gather experiences from the knitting/crocheting community around the world and compile them into a book. We all have so much in common. It will be fun to read our sisters’ and brothers’ experiences: Write a one-page summary that includes one or more of the following: Why I knit* Unfortunately, I will not be able to use all of the submissions. If I choose to use yours, I will notify you and present you with a permission to publish form for your signature. Thank you, and have fun! Deborah Tomasello
