Preparing : kpwerker Consider my Icelandic Turtleneck in a bowl after washing evidence of my impending trip to Ohio for Knitting Daily TV taping. My nails are done, my hair is coifed (which shouldn't be taken too literally—my hair: I do not coif it), and soon my bags will be packed. I'm psyched...

One of the first feature requests we received after we launched in Beta last month was for a link on each pattern to allow you to forward the page to a friend.
