Ok, it’s February but January was a bear of a month with tons of things to do – like Vogue Knitting Live in NYC, closely followed by TNNA which was in Phoenix this year.
For VKL, I designed a pair of luscious fingerless gloves in Tosh Sock, in a beautiful colorway called Midnight in Manhattan which is only available via The Yarn Company in NYC. They are beaded and embellished with silk ribbons, but the actual stitching is fairly simple so don’t get put off by how complicated they look! The lovely Tavy from The Yarn Company had a great time wearing them at the show – they got quite a bit of attention.
The Fanciful Gauntlets pattern is available via your local yarn store (if you are a local yarn store, you can order from Bryson Distributing!) Patternfish or Ravelry , $6.00 retail.
What else is going on? Working on trying to blog more regularly, again :-), hauling LL around to every Irish dance event within a million miles now that she is back in fighting form, and working on a million magazine projects now that the book is done. And oh yeah, now that the book is done I have to start thinking about PR for it! It won’t be in your hands until September but I promise you it is worth the wait! I saw the cover at TNNA and it looks terrific. If you wanted to see the cover too, you should follow me on Twitter as @Hooked4Life . Even when I am slow about blogging and don’t do new podcasts anymore, I am a pretty prolific tweeter.
OK, lots more to say but I am going to pace myself. My first blog post back in a month should probably not be the size of my last book! Later ‘gators!
