A quick hello

I just wanted to drop a quick hello to all. I am very excited about this book and expect to make many projects from it. Just like a previous poster, I will be doing the Curved Shawl first, and in a color similar to that pictured in the book. I have a hank of Alpaca With a Twist in Ruby Slippers that is screaming at me to be used! However, I work retail management and the next few weeks will be busy, so I don't know how much knitting I will get done. After the holidays, I plan on doing a lot. Thanks for letting me be here, I think we'll all have lots of fun!
