One of my very favorite things about knitting is how it will let you be as exacting (or as mellow) as you want.  Want to dive into the nuances of increases and decreases?  Pull up a chair, we can talk about that all day.  Want to stick staunchly to 'I increase with yarn overs and decrease by jamming the needle in two stitches instead of one'?  Well that's cool too, you can make just about anything that way.  Want to talk about the finer details of how to get stitches on and off your needles? There are literally entire books [...]

You know that faintly horrified sensation you get if you look at old journals or college essays or most anything else you did Rather A Long Time Ago?  That mix of 'oh my goodness, you thought this was good' plus 'ooooooh, you were such a sweet little baby' with a bit of 'my goodness let's make sure that never sees the light of day?'  Yeah, so taking a look at nine year old blog posts is all that plus the knowledge that they're on the internet and the internet lives forever and you can be assured that anyone who wants to [...]

And with that, I declare the preorder done!  Packages have been set out for the postman (some of you are even reporting yours have arrived already!), the eversion is live on ravelry.  If you bought the paper one, you'll get an email from me later this afternoon (to the email address you use for paypal) with instructions to let you get your eversion. EDIT TO ADD: The emails have gone out!  Remember, they went to the email address you use with paypal (that's the same one your receipt went to and the same one your tracking information went to).  If [...]

The preorder is all done!  If you ordered the book, it's in the mail.  If you are finding this later and want the eversion, it's up on ravelry.  And if you want the paper version, ask at your LYS, bookstore, or look for it on amazon!

At noon (eastern time) today (that's November 13, 2018, just in case you're reading this later), I'll send an email out to mailing list folks (you need to be on the list by about eleven 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 hour.  Then at one pm, I'll make it live more generally (and link to it in a post here on the blog), and everyone will have access! If you want on the mailing list, you do that here: [mc4wp_form id="13597"] [...]

I've learned to keep book preorders short and sweet, but I wanted to spell out all the details in one place, just so everyone knows what to expect! Tuesday, November 13, noon Eastern time: Preorder opens for folks on my mailing list (I’ll send an email to the mailing list with links to where you can buy either the paper book or the electronic book). You’ll get the best price of the preorder (the book's list price is $21.95 for either the paper version or the eversion, you'll get $3.00 off either version during the mailing list period).  This price only [...]

So…ready for the next book?  Curls 3 is coming out next week (preorder opens Tuesday, November 13th at noon eastern for mailing list folks and 1pm eastern for everyone else)!  I’ll go into all the details of the preorder later this week, but for now I wanted to answer any questions you might have about the book itself.  Let’s see how many of them I can guess! – What’s in the book? 11 new Curl patterns, each showcasing speckled or gradient yarns.  Now of course they'll look great with non-speckled or non-gradient yarns too, don't worry!  But there are so many fun yarns [...]
