Hello knit lovers:

This is a letter of farewell. I am closing Kinver Beach Knit Design, after more than twelve wonderful years.

It is a positive decision. I am in good health and I still enjoy designing garments and accessories. In fact, I want to spend more time working with the colors and textures of my favorite fibers. The main difference is, I'll be creating projects for myself instead of for clients and customers.

A commercial note: You can still find my patterns online at www.shelridge.com and www.patternfish.com. Kits continue to be available at www.shelridge.com.

I have enjoyed operating Kinver Beach. It has taken me to all corners of the continent. I have made many friends and discovered many brilliant designs and products. Working with this company, and with you, has taught me a lot about more than just knitting.

Thank you for your support and encouragement, and for the memories we've made together. I hope we all have many more knit adventures.

-Maureen Mason-Jamieson
