I now have a couple more new designs to share with you.
If you have been following along, you might remember that my latest (3rd party) magazine pattern is my Walnut Cowl,

which currently is featured in Interweave Knits Fall 2017, now on newsstands and in knitting stores everywhere.
On Ravelry, my newest pattern, Godiva Mitts, is slowly becoming one of my most popular indie designs.
Then just before July came to an end, I learned that a book with two of my designs had been published.

My Winding Road Mitts and the companion Winding Road Convertible Cowl were designed in the Summer of 2014. They were selected to be published in a book tentatively titled 60-Minute Knits to be published by Stackpole Books in Spring 2016.
The book was put on a hold after the company was sold in December 2015. It was not put back into production until October 2016.
It seems a very long time ago for me in my design career. But finally, in July 2017, the book has been published with the title KNITS IN A DAY.

As editor Candi Derr wrote, “Sometimes when you realize you need a new hat or mittens--It’s going to be freezing tomorrow and I’m going hiking! It’s my best friend’s birthday and I don’t have a gift!--you need it NOW! This is the book you can turn to again and again for just the right pattern, knowing that every project in it can be completed in a matter of minutes or hours.”

BTW: This Winding Road Convertible Cowl took me about 2 hours to knit.
And these Winding Road Mitts took a little more than one hour each.
Thanks for reading!
