You have been busy developing patterns, Anna! I think they are all fabulous - it will be tough to decide which one(s) I must knit! I love the red jacket though. Perfect to brighten up a wardrobe. Keep up the great ideas!

Ooh, yay, I'm so excited about the Jess pattern. I have been coveting this little jacket since you first posted it, and now I can knit one of my very own.

Hello, I found your pattern on line and really like it. How do I go about paying you? I live in the states.
Thanks,
Wendy

Because of repeated incidents of semi-fraudulent spam, I haven't been using my pay-pal account. Can you accept payment any other way? Like Wendy, I live in the states. Thanks
