Madeleine L'Engle passes away, 88 years old

I first met you (or more accurately, your books) around 1963 when I was meg's age. You were one year younger than my mom. You should look her up now - you had a lot in common and she loved you too, as I did.

My favorite recent quote from you (after you saw the movie they made of your book and an interviewer asked if it met your expectations) was, "Oh yes! I expected it to be bad, and it was!"

You were quite smashing when you were young, you know. And you stayed beautiful all your life.

Actually an inkle loom would be a fine place to start since he already has the pattern. How much does he charge for one of those?

I also want a larger one, though, that I can use to weave more than just belts and bands. I'll find a pattern and post it here.
