    Dear Kate,
    Best of luck tomorrow!
    Thank you so much for the package, it arrived two Friday’s ago during one of our crazy crazy heat waves. I’m sorry it has taken me so long to write, we were away with family for a little while, trying to “Avoid the 100.” (My brother’s way of saying get out of the heat wave!) I knit up a few gauge swatches and I’m just about ready to start work on the sweater. Your pattern is going to challenge me to finally learn some garment shaping. It’s about time I move away from lace rectangles and triangles! Thanks for everything and I’ll be thinking of you over the next few days. Lots of love to you and your family.

  158. Best of luck!!! Will be thinking of you x x

  159. Good luck! Everything crossed for your op tomorrow.
