I announced the winner of the contest in an email to everyone who entered. But, I keep getting emails asking who the winner was, so I’ll announce it here too. Congrats to Miriam Huff!
The first pattern I will be self-publishing is currently being test knitted. Progress is moving right along. It’s so wonderful to drop some yarn in the mail and three weeks later receive it back as a finished garment. I’ll receive this one back in a week and a half. Then the pattern will be sent off to the tech editor.
My second pattern is also on schedule. I’ve finished knitting it, except for the second sleeve. I ran out of yarn and will have to get more this weekend. Today I’ll be shipping yarn off to a test knitter and grading (writing multiple sizes) the pattern. I’m not particularly fond of grading, but it must be done.
The third pattern hasn’t entered my head yet. I’m still waiting to be bit with inspiration. I’m on such a roll that I just want to get started on it. My hands are itching to knit.
