You know, I just love getting packages in the mail. Who doesn’t? And when the package comes with funny little customs stickers and postage in a foreign language? All the better.
The hard part was waiting to come home, and then actually finishing all the errands in town rather than running home right away to try out my new CD’s from Bergere de France. I was as giddy as a child staring through the window at a Christmas tree laden with gifts.
When I finally did get home, and got the groceries stowed away, for it is far to hot, even with an air-conditioned house, to leave food sitting out this time of year, I lined them up on my desktop and proceeded to play.
Now I knew about Bergere de France knitting patterns. I have admired a few things May knit before she started her blog, but I didn’t know any place to get the patterns. I knew that some patterns were posted on the website for free download, but I had never tried to order a book or a catalog. It wasn’t really until Abi posted about the CD-ROMs that I started seriously looking at the possibility of ordering from the website. I found the CD’s on the site and figured I would come back and order, then got busy. When Abi posted again about the CD’s and mentioned that there had been an increase in interest in the CDs, I figured that if I was going to order I should do it. Generally, I assume that if the United States is listed in the country list, I can order from the US. Some European websites don’t even list the US, and on a few occasions it is listed but I have gotten an e-mail telling me they can’t ship to the US, but hey, it’s worth a try, right?
This is wonderful, money and time well spent. Of course my college French is a bit rusty, but I assume that with my rudimentary French, a good dictionary, Knitting Languages, Google and a bit of determination I can get through it.
Any way, there are a lot of patterns here I WANT to knit. Don’t start laughing. I know I have said that before.

Do I need to borrow a laptop and an LCD projection screen from Media Services?

Hi Mardel! I have some prizes for you from the MS Ride Raffle, but don’t have your address. Might you email me so that I can get a package out to you? Thanks!
I had no idea there are knitting patterns on CD.
