• the pattern is wicked clevah
  
  -Jennifer in Massachusetts (on Shapeshifter)


• Can you tell how much I love her patterns? They're a godsend for people like me with a trunk full of half-skeins and partial balls of yarn.

• This is a really fun pattern to knit. I'm loving it! I'm already thinking of yarn I might have to knit another.
  
  -Heidi in Louisiana (on Barry)


• Turned out really cool & fun. It was a quick project with enough challenge to make it an interesting and fun knit. I love projects like these.
  
  -Natalie in California (on Flying V's mitts)


• Another cleverly designed pattern by Lee Meredith (my third to-date - that's certainly more from any single designer than I've ever made before.) I love that I always learn something new from her designs.

• Love Lee's patterns so much. Each time I knit one, I am amazed by how her brain must work.
  
  -Kelly in Canada (on Junction)


• This design bent my mind in crazy new ways. It was magic to knit.
