</div>As another writer of columns in the kfactor for many years in D2, I can say that D4’s is the only article I read without exception. You have a real gem up there, and you’re not the only ones that know it!

I would imagine that most of us typically read our own district article and skim the others for photos and contest results. For those of you NOT in D4 I would HIGHLY encourage you to take the time to read our districts column. This one. The prior one. All of them.

When Jeff Aranyos wrote for D5… it was a never miss column, and he never disappointed. I would argue vehemently that Scott McNickle has set a new bar for thoughtful pattern related content. Month after month. And now year after year. He’s never mailed it in…

Sorry to gush, but in a time when our hobby is struggling, it’s a pleasure to promote someone that’s making a profound effort.

Thanks Scott. Looking forward to seeing you in Muncie and reading your next rumination.
