Knitbot 2011

Wow, I can't even believe we're wrapping up 2011.  But we are!This was a big year for me.  I remember back in January telling Alana, "I'm really going to try this year."  And try I did!

First, I hired a new technical editor, Tana Pageler, who went through all Knitbot patterns with a fine toothed comb and made them, well, better.  Neesha Hudson created some new illustrations for me, and with these in hand Mary Joy Gumayagay designed a beautiful new pattern template for Knitbot.

 

 

 

 

I created a mini design collection using The Fibre Company's Savannah. Spring Ribbed, Sycamore, Sunnyside

And after all this, some how, some way, Alana and I created Coastal Knits, which has been more successful than we ever dreamed!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's on the horizon for 2012?  So far I can tell you that I have a collaborative project in the works with Quince & Co.   On a personal note, I am expecting my 2nd child in June. So 2012 is sure to be filled with lots of excitement.  Stay tuned, and thanks for your continued support!

As the year draws to a close, I'll be posting round ups of some of my favorite finished Knitbot projects from you knitters completed in 2011.  Watch for those over the next few weeks!

Also, a note to let you knitters know that effective January 1, 2012, Knitbot garment pattern PDF rates will be going up from $4.95 to $5.95 each.  All my patterns received an overhaul earlier this year, extensive technical editing and graphic design, but I hadn't yet adjusted my rates to reflect this work.  Feel free to take advantage of these last weeks of December to grab a pattern you've wanted at the old price!

In the Loop!

A report back from my event in Norfolk, MA at In the Loop: it was wonderful!My day started with a visit to my Aunt Lynn's, and some time with one of her six angora bunnies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then we were off to In the Loop.   There were SO many enthusiastic knitters that came by, I had a great time! Photos by Nikki Kirsch The owners and staff at this shop are great.  They have a fantastic selection of yarn, and I'm not just saying that. They really do. I came away with a skein of Schoppel Wolle Baby Alpaka naturbelassen that I'm quite excited about.

Thanks to In the Loop for having me!
