What a day! We thought we had seen the last of Walter the UPS Guy, but oh no! He appeared at our door with a later shipment that blew us away! Unicorn Books has come out with the must-have gift of 2004- THE 2005 KNITTING PATTERN A DAY CALENDAR. And best of all, our pal LAURIE GONYEA is featured on October 25 with her clever TURTLENECK TURTLE TOP! . Take a look yourself:

We were so excited, but not as excited as Laurie, who whooped with delight when we called to tell her. So congratulations, Laurie. And thanks for letting us submit the pattern. We received a nice mention. This clever calendar can be paired with the perpetual 365 KNITTING STITCHES A YEAR for a perfect gift. Unicorn also sent the much anticipated Simply Knit 2 featuring Lana Grossa yarns.

And Berroco came through as quickly as Knitting Fever! We called just on Monday for reinforcements of pink, green and taupe SUEDE and received it today!
