You are all amazing. You are, in fact, so amazing that I am having a hard time finding the words to talk about it. So instead, I'm going to tell you what happened on Friday. On Friday, I put Curls up for preorder. I've done this before. I know what it's like. It's like planning a party. You work for a long time (putting in far more time and energy than folks who don't throw parties would believe). You invite people. You get very excited but also more than a little nervous. What if no one comes? What if only [...]
Curls
Wow! You guys are awesome. Enough of you showed up that you crashed the server. The Boy has done some frantic typing (and I have done some helpful swearing) and thing seem to be back on track (slow, but working). If you're still having problems, get in touch and we'll get it sorted out. Thanks guys, I'm totally blown away by your excitement! The presale starts today! You can get the book right here, or just click on the giant picture of the book's cover below to be taken directly to the right spot. Just a few tiny bits [...]
Q&A
You've got questions, I've got answers. Let's see if I can be all cool and answer them in advance! What's in the book? Patterns for 14 lovely, asymmetrical, wearable wraps that you can knit at any gauge and with any weight of yarn. You can see pictures of them over here or in the picture below. And, just to make sure your knitting goes smoothly, there are sections exploring the relationship between gauge and needle choice, detailing how to read a chart, and outlining the best way to block your Curl. There's also a discussion of how Curls work, just [...]
Curls Preorder Schedule
Curls: Versatile, Wearable Wraps to Knit at Any Gauge goes on sale Friday. As always, I've got some great discounts for folks who buy early. But, to make things even more fun, I've also arranged for some marvelous little goody bags (full of all sorts of knitterly tools and indulgences) for the first 250 people to buy the paper version! I know placing a preorder is a bit of an act of trust, so I want to lay out the whole schedule here, just so you know what to expect and when things will happen (and of course, just ask [...]
Ready, Set, …
So did I mention the new book? The one that goes up for presale on Friday? Well, I mean I know I've mentioned it in passing (if you look back at old posts tagged sneakypants, you can see many of the things I've said about it) , but I think I've actually been fairly circumspect about its contents. Given that it's coming out this Friday, I think we can likely lift the veil just a bit, don't you? How about a quick shot of some of the test pages the printer sent? I'll have a proper picture of all the [...]
Conflict
What I want to do is tell you all about our trip and the lovely things we did while we were gone. What I should do is tell you all about the new book that's going up for preorder on Friday. So let's strike a compromise. I'll share three pictures from the trip (because three pictures of someone else's vacation is all anyone should be asked to tolerate), and then we'll talk about the book tomorrow. Sound fair? We spent an unreasonable amount of time watching the sky do this. We spent even more time climbing all over these rocks [...]
Loot
I went to Rhinebeck and didn't buy yarn. I know this sounds a bit odd, but I get rather frazzled when I find myself somewhere crowded. I bailed out after less than three hours. I wanted very badly to be elsewhere, so we left. Luckily, we were up in Maine after Rhinebeck, and Maine seems to be exceptionally well supplied with yarn stores. I visited quite a few of them. Of course we went into Portland, which means of course we went to KnitWit, which means of course I bought yarn from Quince & Co. Rather a lot of yarn actually. [...]
