    Hi Shawn, I just directly sent yours again (check your spam folder if you don't see them) and re-emailed everyone in your tier to doublecheck that they are all ok. Thanks so much!

    Hey Shawn! It's the crazy time of year for teaching (I'm heading out again tomorrow!) -- as I just told Meg on the other thread from the last update, my fall intern and I have been digging through ALL the lists and cross-referencing what should've gone out but seems to have fallen into a spamfolder somewhere, or what wasn't available to go out at the initial backing but now is (such as Shaping Shawls) so we can do them all at once. We've been doing a lot of guesswork with the potential-spamfolder stuff because unless people tell us something hasn't come through, we just assume it did. When we do the big re-send from these new cross-checked lists, we'll send another update so everyone can check their inboxes and make sure things came through. Thank you!

    Hi Meg! no! My fall intern has been going through all the lists and reconfirming what went out/what should have gone out/what appears to have fallen into a spambox somewhere and working it so we can resend to everyone. I'll be in touch directly with anyone whose requests presented a problem (for example, pattern requests for patterns I don't have the rights to redistribute instead of the patterns on the list I sent out) -- thanks!
