April 2011
Dear Friends,
The summer I turned twelve was the first time I picked up a pair of knitting needles. My mother wasnt a knitter and I pestered her all summer because I so badly wanted to learn. Mom finally broke down and took me to a yarn store, where those wonderful ladies patiently taught me. The first thing I made was a purple vest for my motheras a thank-you because she found a way for me to knit.
I believe I inherited my love of craft from my Grandmother Adler, my fathers mother, who died before I could have any memories of her. My older cousins have told me stories about Grandma sitting in her rocking chair, sound asleep and snoring while still crocheting. Yup, Grandma Adler was my kind of woman. Several of the pieces she crocheted have been passed down to us cousins and they are cherished treasures.
From the time I learned to knit until this very day, Ive always had a project going. My writing career took a sharp turn upward after The Shop on Blossom Street was published. Combining my passions of knitting and writing was clearly what resonated so strongly with my readers. Knitting was and is an authentic part of my life.
When knitters get together, surprising things can happen, especially if those knitters also happen to be authors. The idea for this anthology came from Christina Skye, who is highly skilled as both a knitter and a writer. We were on a yarn crawl in San Francisco, driving from yarn store to yarn store with our friend Candi Jensen, when Christina casually said, We should think about writing a knitting anthology together. We took the idea to our publisher and from that point forward it was a go. Susan Mallery is a new knitter, but she added some great ideas, so here we are.
I hope you enjoy The Twenty-First Wish and this return visit with characters from Blossom Street.
As always I love hearing from my readers. You can reach me at my website at www.DebbieMacomber.com or at P.O. Box 1458, Port Orchard, WA 98366.
