Redaction

It has come to my attention that in my previous blog that my comments about my good friend, fellow blogger, and designer may have been misinterpreted as snarky. Please let it be known that it was not put out there with that intention at all. It is really difficult to discern the tone or attitude behind the written word sometimes. Most of the time, actually.
I would like to go on record that this person is dear to me. She is an awesome person, friend, designer, knitter, blogger, podcaster, etc, etc, etc. She has every right to be discerning in her taste for her patterns. She (that is to say her self and her taste) is her brand. It is how she makes a living for her family. She is right to be ferocious in guarding it. And I was wrong in being oversensitive. But just as she is touchy about her product, I am touchy about my knitting. I am proud of how and where I have gotten so far. But I do make mistakes. And I am trying to get over myself. And for that I am sorry.
So, in the end, I would like to apologize to my public for my perceived snarkiness. And I would like to apologize to my good friend for my overdeveloped sense of drama and pride. I hope that we can work again together professionally, but more importantly, I hope that we can still be friends. Because that is a bond more beautiful and important than anything.
