"It's good to be just plain happy, it's a little better to know that you're happy; but to understand that you're happy and to know why and how and still be happy, be happy in the being and the knowing, well that is beyond happiness, that is bliss." Henry Miller
I recently had a chance to meet bliss...................
Debbie Bliss that is.................... that's right... 
THE Debbie Bliss...................... knitting designer extraordinaire.
and her lovely daughter Nell...
learning the how...and why...
and understanding a little more about her and her work... just truly made me plain happy.

A preview of new books to be released...


























of new yarns...and new colors...
and a trunk full of her wonderful designs... well... you see...




















beyond happiness...
and I am happy in the being and the knowing,
knowing that I have something just about finished..
something special to show you... right after the blocking {smiles}.....

Oh wow! What a delightful day that must have been. Back in the day (the 80's), I had two DB books that I just went back to over and over again. I think I knit every children's knit in one of her books. She is truly a knitting icon.

This post is so full of wise enthusiasm. Thank you for sharing your beautiful way of expression.

It must have been great fun to meet Ms Bliss and daughter. I do admire her designs.

I also very much admire that photo of the pretty green project on the double point needles. Looking forward to seeing it completely.

Oh my goodness, how lucky. The photos are wonderful and, wow, I mean to get to see these things in real life instead of just a picture in a book. Debbie Bliss is my favorite yarn for crochet.

You're the only person I know to come across better quotes and more often than I do :-) xxx.
