Hmmm... I can't figure what is happening. Unless you are having a Ravelry glitch, which does happen from time to time. As I said in the response to your previous comment, send me an email and we will get it resolved. :)

Hi Ginny,
That's very weird. Are you sure you clicked on the download button for the "Winter Wonders"? I have a screenshot showing that the checkout works just fine, but it can't be attached to these comments. Send me an email at [email protected] and let's see if we can resolve this for you.
Best wishes,

Hi Lorie,
Can you send me an email with a screenshot? I checked it myself and it worked fine for me. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to add an image to these comments or I would show you a screenshot of what the checkout should look like. My email is [email protected]
