Hi Sally,
I know how you feel. When I was a kid I always got a check in the "Does Extremely Well" box under 'shares information well.' So I really loved the 'victrola needle' version of 'shares information well'. Have you ever said anything out loud without realizing that you did and had to ask everyone listening "Were my lips moving when I said that?" LOL
I am sure that everyone understands about the author not wanting you to share the pattern with others. I think it was very smart of you to ask her first. What if you didn't and she found it on this website with your name on the message? That would have been really, really embarrassing.
This is the best website that I have ever visited. It makes me really happy to visit this site everyday to see what everybody else is up to...and the jokes are great, too.
