I just found out this morning how to pronounce (knitting pattern designer) Nora Gaughan's name. See, that's the trouble with only ever seeing things online or otherwise in print. I was thinking it was "Gowan," as in Rowan - but, it's not.
It rhymes with 'dawn' - so it's pronounced 'Gon.' I was guessing how it was pronounced, but the owner of one of my awesome LYSs had hosted a book-signing with Ms. Gaughan, so I take her word for it. In addition, thanks to this shop I actually own a signed copy of Knitting Nature (which is itself a pretty cool book).
...and now, I have to go knit.
