Have you considered translating a book of patterns by Stephanie van der Linden? Her socks are the most beautiful socks I've ever seen and many of her patterns are only available in German.

I could use some help. I teach at a small mission located in a dump in Mexico 6 months a year. I would like to teach the mothers how to knit to possibly find a way to make a little money. Does anyone know of some simple patterns that are in Spanish or both English and Spanish? That would be wonderful. Thank you for any help. Patt H.C.

Sandi, its great you publish overseas designers, but please don't convert things too much for American tastes, as us non-Americans often have problems sourcing particular yarns ( not available elsewhere in most cases) and then have to re-translate terms, measurements and yarn sizes back for European or Australian needs. I live in a country where none of our yarn producers puts the length of their ball on the label, so its very hard to substitute when you don't even know what size the starting yarn is! I'm not alone in this complaint, and I notice that other knitters are now starting to rate books using "internationality" as an important factor in determining whether a book is user friendly or not. You have an international readership; please try to cater for them and leave the continental and English references in so that we can understand what you are talking about!

Sandy, I haven't been getting my daily newsletters for about a week now. I really miss it. Can we start it up again?

I have been trying to download the Baby Knits ebook. Every day or so I try again but it will not let me download unless I register. It does not offer the option of just login. When I try to register (again) it will not let me because I am already a member. How can I download this ebook? I would appreciate any help you could give me. (I have grandchildren waiting.) Thanks for any help you can give me on this. Sandy A

I have recently started a job as a teacher in an elementary school in my area. I will be working at a Title 1 school, which qualifies for low income monies. Unfortunately, they currently don't have an after school program for anything but homework help. Who could I contact to have supplies donated so that I could volunteer to help kids learn to knit? I'd appreciate any comments. Thank you.

I'm new to Knitting Daily, but already love it! Monday (June 8), I read your article about translating "Feminine Knits" into English, thought the photos were lovely, and ordered it immediately. I don't know how they did it, but it arrived on Tuesday! I can't wait to start the 'Diagonal Lace Jacket' featured in TODAY'S email! Guess this is "Feminine Knits WEEK!" Thanks for keeping me up-to-date, Kaye S. Indianapolis, IN
