Knit One, Embellish Too

April 25, 2007

the thesis show pics are now up on my flickr site! thanks liss!

and i also got the go ahead from my publisher to share the name of my book:

Knit One, Embellish Too: Hats, Mittens, and Scarves with a Twist.

i’m still a bit shy about the book thing, so i blush just to mention it. wonder when i’ll get used to it.  it kind of blind-sided me to begin with, and i’m still getting used to it months later.  i guess it’s a bit like getting married, it doesn’t seem real until after the fact.  speaking of, it should be published early next year (the publisher calls it spring).

  10. Congratulations! I love your flickr photos as I am a “spinning voyeur” (I dont do it but would love to and love to watch it whenever I can).
    Anyway I have also been drooling over all of your lovely yarns. So happy for you and keep doing what you love that’s what brings sanity to this crazy world of ours.

  15. Count me in as one of the people who’ll be buying a copy, so long as my LYS gets it in. (And if they don’t, I’ll probably end up special-ordering it. :D)
