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____________________________________________ 
Ravelry Name_____________________________________ 
Email Address_____________________________________ 
Phone #__________________________________________

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* 
What knitting means to me 
A knitting anecdote-- funny or otherwise 
Personal history or story related to the topic 
Knitting Inspiration 
Pictures (JPEGs) of your work or anything knitting-related (Please own copyright privileges of anything shown) 
Knitting Aspirations 
Stash Commentary 
Knitting Pros/Cons

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!
