I got the beanie at REI in Orange County in the USA for my wife. She just loved the light blue color and the beautiful
knitted wool design of high quality. Great job! Thanks

Rosario,

I have been wanting one of KKI's scarves for many months and was thrilled when I got one of your beautiful Marie scarves for Christmas! I love it! It is a great quality scarf and is also quite soft. I think it would be great for you to be able to design your own products.

Many thanks,
Katie

Dear Rosario,

My husband does not like to go Christmas shopping so I usually buy all gifts, even my own and wrap all for under the tree. I purchased a beautiful dark Magenta color "Marie" scarf before Christmas at a local boutique here and put it under the tree for myself. It is so soft and the color is so beautiful! I absolutely love it! I hope you and your family have a Happy New Year and that all your dreams come true.

Thank you,
Jane

Dear Rosario,

As a Christmas present, my cousin gave me one of your adorable beanies! I love it, especially since the color is gray. I feel a little warmer every time I wear it. I want to say thank you and hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family. Be safe and don't ever stop dreaming!

Dear Rosario,
Today, I purchased one of your beautiful and favorite products. It is a very soft, orange, hand-loomed 'marie'. When I celebrate Halloween in Washington State with my granddaughter tomorrow night, I will be so grateful to YOU because I will look so-o-o good and feel warm, too! Keep focused on your dream of owning your own knitting machine. You can do it!

Thank you,
Linda Herkert
