Rabble Rousers Yarn Giveaway
Because I love you all, and because yarn people are the very nicest people imaginable, I've got some goodies to give away over the next few weeks to mark the launch of Rabble Rousers. (I seriously love my job, not only do I get to play with all this pretty yarn, I get to give it away and make others happy too!) I'm starting with Wistful by Briar Rose. This is the yarn I used to make Clamor, and holy wow is it yummy stuff. It's an alpaca, merino, silk blend. The alpaca gives it just a hint of a [...]
Sort of
Goal: Grab a picture of a sock to show the blog that you've not totally abandoned knitting. Plan of Action: Toss sock on blocker, set blocker on chair, snap picture. Actual set of Actions: Toss sock on blocker, set blocker on chair, prepare camera. Douglas senses the presence of yarn, leaps immediately into action, and tries desperately to subdue the evil yarn and protect me from its nefarious intention. Snap picture of kitten frolicking instead of sock. Result: Well, you can see the sock. Sort of. A bit. It's not precisely in focus (nor is the kitten for that matter...he's [...]
You’ve Got to Have Rules
One of the best parts about TNNA is getting to put faces to the people you've been communicating with (sometimes for years) only through email. This time, I had the pleasure of finally meeting Chrissy Gardiner in person. She's a member of the Visionary Authors group and was at the booth to show off her brand new book, Indie Socks. And when I say brand new, I mean it. She had just gotten the box of author advance copies days before the show. Chrissy was kind enough to offer me a copy of the book. This was absolutely delightful, but [...]
Giveaway
The fine folks at knitcircus have a copy of The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet to give away. If you think you might just possibly be able to find a home for such a thing, head over that direction and follow their directions. As for me, I'll be back soon (hopefully tomorrow if the weather gods allow) with a picture of actual knitting. Not swatching. Not yarn. Actual knitting. Most of my knitting time lately has been going to swatches for the third book. While that's great fun, it does mean an alarming lack of finished objects. I needed a proper project [...]
Goodies
It's been a little while since we had a giveaway, hasn't it? Let's fix that! Way back when, I mentioned that Suzan at Barking Dog Yarns was using one of the patterns from The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet as part of her new sock club. The February shipment just went out so now I can show it to you. It's a lovely clear kelly green, which will look smashing with the Loasa lateritia sock pattern. See? Doesn't it make you think of spring? I've got a skein of the yarn to mail out to one lucky knitter, and I'll send along [...]
