A few other miscellaneous items:
* Last week I returned from a trip around the world (Literally. We flew east to get to our destination and west to get home.), so I'll have more to share about that later.
* Since I'm finally over my jet lag, I'm finally getting organized, and it looks like I'll have two more fun giveaways coming up soon!
* Yesterday, I did a guest post for Whip Up -- check it out if you'd like to hear about the not-so-glamorous parts of pattern design.
* Today is my 32nd birthday. I'm starting to feel like maybe I'd like that number to stop getting bigger every year. :)

happy birthday!
Love the larger version of Citron! Have a wonderful birthday, Hilary. We're around the same age, and I agree that the number is getting a little scary.
Can't wait to hear about the trip.
happy birthday, hilary! hope you have a fabulous day!
Many happy returns of the day, Hilary! I'm knitting Indicum right now and am enjoying it a lot. It's the first pattern by you that I'm trying and I'll surely return for some more.
Happy birthday, Hilary! Thanks for making Citron even better!
The Citron Grande is beautiful ... happy birthday!
I loved your guest post on whipup.net on the design process, I shared it with my knitting teacher. She is doing a class right now on sweater design, and wants to share the post with the class which I hope is OK, giving you credit of course. Thanks for your insight.
Hello, Hilary, and Happy Birthday! In the past week, I read the whole of your blog from the beginning post to today's--it's great! I look forward to knitting the Citron, the Citron Grand, and many more of your patterns. Best wishes for a great, new year of life ahead!
Grattis! :D
