The preorder is over now!  If you didn't have a chance to get your copy, you can ask your LYS to carry the paper book or find it on amazon (as always, amazon links are affiliate links), or head over to ravelry for the electronic version.   Click on over [...]

At eleven this morning (eastern time), I'll send an email out to mailing list folks (you need to be on the list by about nine this morning to get today's message).  That email will send you to somewhere you can get the book at mailing list rates for the first [...]

I like to keep preorders short and sweet (because really...I want to get books out and in your hands as quickly as possible), but I wanted to spell out all the details in one place so everyone knows just what to expect! Tuesday, August 14, 11 am Eastern time: Preorder [...]

One of these days I'll tell you the story of the horrible yarn shop I visited when I was a brand new knitter.  The one where the owner made it very clear that real knitters only knit sweaters (and only out of very thin, very expensive wool at that). Every now and [...]

So...Did I mention I'm sneaking a second little book on the schedule (don't worry, Curls 3 is still coming this fall...this is just an extra little something)?  Because I totally am!  Today I'll tell you a little about the book.  Then, later this week, I'll give you all the details about [...]

I got distracted. I got distracted near yarn. I got distracted near yarn and needles and now I'm oddly obsessed with these little bits of foolishness.  I'm doodling around with how best to make them (the goal is no seams, only two ends to weave in, and not too fiddly).  Because [...]

I think we're due for some socks, don't you?  Propitiate are (back) out, and I have a feeling they're the sort of socks that a lot of us sock knitters secretly most like to make (and wear).  They're 10% off with the code COZY, and there's yarn to give away, [...]

So this was going to be a post about how I'd been getting rather a lot of a particular question lately (briefly summarized as "Knitting patterns are stupid and easy to make, so it's basically a crime that anyone charges such an outrageous amount for them.  And I don't have enough [...]

And so it begins... Now, as knitters all know, if you're worried about running out of yarn, the trick is to knit really fast so you outrun the end. Totally valid approach...not at all insane, sure to work. Now, to be fair, I'm also doing things like not using a [...]

So you know I've been feeling the slipper love lately.  They really are fun to knit (and wear...and don't try and convince me you don't need a slipper wardrobe because I just won't believe you).  But taking pictures of them has always been a little tricky.  I used a pair [...]
