Loooooove the redesign. Perfect. Should be a mighty fine hat, too!

I love your new look! I know I've sent you an email about this, so you can just ignore this comment if you want to! I really, really want to redesign my blog. I think I've seen other blogs you've done (hope I'm right, here) and I'm wondering if you're still available for weblog designs? I would pay of course! Thanks =)

Nice to see you back! Hope to see some projects soon. Love the new page design too :)

Yay! I discovered your blog about a month ago, in the middle of your break. Over the course of a couple slow days at work, I went back through alllll the archives and read every post, then saddened when I noticed the date on the last post was from June. I thought you might have abandoned the blog and I was so sad since I loved it so much and figured I discovered it too late! I'm so glad you're back!

I just bought some silk wool for a 2nd bolero! it will be luxurious for that hat... looking forward to reading more! welcome back!

Glad you are back! I've missed reading your posts!! I can't wait to see Lars' hat. Love the new site design!

I don't know what those bloggers did to you, but I'm forever in their debt if it results in some posting. I've seriously missed you!!!! I love the redesign and I'm glad you implemented some of your wonderful ideas. The hat should be wonderful. I have some ideas for a hat for Travis, but I'm going to have to go with superwash for him or else he'll felt it. Welcome back - I hope for good.
