As a loyal reader and customer, thanks! I love the Purl Bee - great projects, and lots of variety and creativity. Because of Purl, and the Purl Bee, I am now a quilter in addition to a knitter! (I'm serious - I had never thought about quilting, until I saw on your site that you were opening Purl Patchwork. Anyway, here's to many many more.
