DestiKNITters, make sure you take a look at THE KNITTING CIRCLE when you're thinking of your next read. I know you'll enjoy not only the knitting, but the wonderful story. And in case you're wondering, it is indeed available as an audiobook!

Ann, thanks so much for letting us peek into your knitting basket! I've loved your books for ages and ages -- Waiting To Vanish is one of the books that made me want to become a writer, and I still have my original copy, cover falling off, on my bookshelf. Every time I see you've got a new book out, it's like a gift.
Allie, thanks for having Ann here! I love all the adventures that knitting has brought your way, my friend -- you're amazing!
