Hi Rachael, I did put an order in for the pattern for the Red Olympic mittens, and I do prefer NOT to use paypal I used it once, and I get spam from people trying to get me to verify my credit card information.

I did used paypal again today, to get the pattern, but I didn't know if itwent through or not, and if not would you please contact me at my email address. Thank you.

I think the hat turned out very nice, especially considering how much you hated working with the yarn. How in the world did such a lovely young lady get the nickname of hippo?

Hippo (what a terrible nickname!) is so cute that she'd probably look good in anything, including this hat. And I don't think it's so ugly,either.

Actually, I think I have seen uglier… I like the shape of the hat, and that's all down to your skill. So there

Also, I'm with you about natural fibers. Some people say I'm a little bit picky — but they don't complain when they receive something handmade from these wonderful yarns. Real linen, wool, silk, merino, cashmere, cotton. My absolute favorite is baby alpaca, and I'm kind of tempted to try the new eco-friendly yarns made of bamboo, milk, and corn, of all things. (I do avoid itchy wool, though. I was one of those children who felt tortured by it — I could no more work with it than I could fly.)
