    Nice to know you're feeling better, Alana, and to catch an update from you. Also, thanks so much for all the info about Be Sweet. They've been on my radar for awhile now thanks to the GORGEOUS "Caprica" shawl pattern, and I've poked about on their website a bit, but it was nice to get so much detail from you about the company.

    The bamboo yarn they have looks luscious - I think the Royal Blue's got to be my favorite from what's available on One Planet Yarn. :-)

    Take care, and until next time!!
