I'm not sure why he expects to get all formats for one price, however. Are you buying a book? Or are you buying text, ideas, content. Creating each version takes investment on the part of (whatever) publisher does it, digital or otherwise, so I would expect to pay for each format. On the other hand, if I I'm buying a digital copy, I would like it to be usable on any device I chose without having to license each one separately.

I can sympathize! Jay was born in winter in New Jersey. I wore a wool traveling cloak that I stole from my mom. It is super warm--the bonus is, you can also carry a new baby in a sling or front carrier and wear the cloak over it. I still wear it now in Alaska when I'm dressed up and want to stay warm.

p.s. Congratulations!!!

Heh. My mom once had an old clock-radio that was still working after 20 years. She would only mention this fact in whispers, and never in the same room with the clock-radio. You never want to let your electronics know that they're getting old. Good luck!

So you're eating bananas again? What's the cool comment feature?

@Kim: Funny thing is, since I'm purging things for an impending move, I *just* got donated these--I had been saving them purely because they make me laugh, but they didn't make the cut!

It would be fun to test out other companies twitter-literacy (twitteracy?)... Maybe try a chocolate company first.

Amen! I am in the odd position of having complete coverage, like you, Kim while living in the US. Military health insurance isn't perfect, but it is good and it's free. The US already knows how to do this, they just need to do it for the whole country.

I'm with you, it's a success--I love how the marketing for this film has embraced its crafty audience--go out and get the book (or the graphic novel) before you go see the movie. It's great!

Re: Where Are the Crochet Bloggers?

Amy — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 22:48:20 -0000

Vashti, I understand how you feel about balancing professionalism with the desire to maintain an open and creatively honest blog. One of the things I struggle with most is maintaining the energy of inquisitive inspiration that my blog began with. When I was a new designer, I was constantly figuring things out and writing about them. Now that I'm a bit more seasoned, I'm still creatively stimulated in my work, but I'm not necessarily problem-solving as much, but I'd still like to have that spirit in my blog.

Regarding comments, I'm not sure why some blogs get millions of comments and others don't. Like you, I no longer worry about that because know my readership is there. Also, I feel privileged that my commenters are thoughtful and insightful when they do leave messages.

It was in the 50s that day--the snow suits were more to keep dry than warm--but no one overheated!

Oooh! How great! You definitely should publish a pattern! I teach kids fiber arts and my students would totally love these! I love how interchangeable everything is and how fun it must be to dress the dolls.

It's hard for me to find leather (in any form) to be eco-friendly. The energy involved in raising cattle is enormous.
