As one American, I thank you for your kind words. I personally feel very
upset at the apparent lack of planning and urgency in responding to the
growing crisis -- especially on our federal level. And news about the

I have seen some beautiful Honiton patterns that I would like to do in a
larger size.

Very, very nice web site. One suggestion, though. The URL you supplied
