I wanted to congratulate you on your beautiful book. Your writing is very clear and accessible, and your photographs and graphics are superb. You explore some territory that I have not yet gone into such as network drafting in doubleweave, and I look forward to experimenting in some areas that will be new to me. I think your book is a wonderful addition to the resources available in doubleweave and will give weavers new ideas and inspiration for techniques and design. Doubleweave is indeed a great journey, and I think your workshops and your book are carrying it further on its endless path.
