Today, I'd like to give a big thanks and a hug to Teresita Valadez of Hearts of Love on Ravelry.com for her wonderful Knitting Members Cozy Corner and Anchors Away News of the Day posts about Knit Knitavian Style. Teresita and the group are the featured Ravelry charity in the book. Teresita had not seen the galley's before her book arrived. I was delighted to see that Teresita really took time to go over the entire book and enjoyed not only the cover, patterns, articles, and interviews, but the true message of joy, love, and inspiration that is a big part of what I was trying to accomplish with this project.
The most valuable lesson I learned from this entire process, which consumed a little over a year of my life, is that no matter what the obstacles, challenges, disappointments and unexpected setbacks, the true message of the hard work and creativity shine through in the end. I raise my needles to all of you who get the message and am thankful to all the wonderful people who have stepped forward to contribute, help, console, consult, become Joyful Knitters and be a part of the adventure.
If you're struggling with your creative project right now, take a moment to whisper...I'm ready for my helpers to come forward. You might also want to try my all time favorite. Send help now! Keep your sense of humor, enjoy your friends, hold your creative head high and be grateful for all you've accomplished.
Works every time.
