Hi. The new site looks lovely!
I did the pre-order for your book on Ravelry (after realizing I loved all the patterns), but didn’t see any links to download Laar or the Hömin Shawl – did I miss something? I do have my paypal receipt, and they don’t show up there either.
Me, too! I’ve tried to communicate with Ravelry, but haven’t received a response. I’d love to get started on the Homin Shawl. Can’t wait for the entire book!
Gorgeous colors.. delicate! Beautiful models- Ysolda looks beautiful .. those eyes! I love the blue buttons on the peach delicate sweater… Good Luck! and Congrats!
Congratulations on the gorgeous new site and the new book! The knits, styling, models — EVERYTHING about it looks lovely and I’m off to pre-order now…
