love, life, and what we might wear*

*with apologies to the author
Will you look at that in the upper right of our sidebar!  Last week Joan found out she'll be in NYC on  our publication date.  Faster than you can say how many yards are in a meter, we'd arranged a party. Join us!  Seeing us in the same room is rarer than a blue moon. We'll talk, we'll  book sign, you'll have fun, and anyway, we're serving wine plus all the great snacks (and yarn!) at The Point Knit Cafe.

As usual, no matter what I'm doing, no matter how exciting, how challenging, how intimidating, it is plowed under oh my god what to wear??  It turns out that both Joan & I are knitting the Montana Tunic  pattern from the book.

A sneak peek .  Either of us might look like this if a) we were fly fishing in  Montana,  b) we were 20 years old, tall and had the most perfect natural red hair and c) most critically...we'd  finished knitting it !

Mine's only got 12" of the back done so hope is slim. I'm loving the 13 Mile Farm yarn, it's the indigo I have on the needles . Joan's got a head start in another color but more deadlines. So no breath being held here. Just look for the two faces from the upper left sidebar , run over and say hi.

Oh I wish I could be there. The book is so beautiful. Congratulations!

I adore that book Love, Loss & What I Wore. Everyone should make their own record of what they wore at important times LIKE THEIR BOOK LAUNCH. Get thee to Eileen Fisher!

ooh... and when will you be coming to Boston? I highly recommend coming up and doing a reading at Porter Square Books, Jane (one of the owners) is a knitter. Also... what rod/reel is that woman sporting... :)

Congratulations on an absolutely stunning piece of work :) I'll be posting my review tomorrow! I hope you'll be making your way back through Arizona on tour!

OMG - I LOVE that pattern!! I need to get to a book store QUICK!!
