Welcome 2008!

Hello everybody, I'm a bit behind in wishing you all a happy new year for 2008!!

It's so exciting to see the peacocks popping up all over ravelry, congratulaions to all you finishers, they all look so beautiful, I dont' think I shal ever tire of looking at them.

There's been a few new joiners as well, so welcome to you and I hope you enjoy knitting the pretty as a peacock shawl.

Jae and I pop in here regularly to check out the progress, so get those pictures up and show us your stuff.

And, a bit of trivia for the peacock lovers out there. Do you know what the collective noun for a group of peacocks is?

OSTENTATION. An ostentation of peacocks. Don't you just LOVE that? I do.

Hello,
I am Agnès, a friend of Martine. I am French and live in Vichy (cosmetics and water).
I'd like to knit Pretty as a Peacock, have the pattern and I will order some yarn at Lisa Souza's online shop.
I wanted to know something, I don't understand the following symbol "purl except last repeat pfb"
My problem is the pfb.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Agnès
