Sock Book
I submitted a sock design for an upcoming sock book, and it was accepted-- yay! I spend so much time knitting sweaters, it'll be nice to have to knit a pair of socks (since they're my favorite and all).
Back to finishing up a little paperwork before knit night!

Back from TNNA
Well, I'm back, and tired (of course!) from several days of walking the show, chit chats, and whatnot. Like a total nerd I kept a mental tally of the number of garments I had designed that I spotted in the various booths on the show floor (31 in 6 booths, if you're wondering). I ran into lots of people I was hoping to see, including most of the editors I've been tech editing for so far this year, yarn company folk I've been designing for, lots of lovely ladies from AKD, especially Chrissy, who I've been doing a lot of tech editing for these days, Shannon, Vickie, Jess and Casey, and more. I also got to see our beloved and much-missed ex-Detroit Area Knitter Tracy, who lives not too far from Columbus and came down to join me at the AKD party on Friday.
It was so nice (as usual) to check out the new yarns, people-watch, and be generally overwhelmed. I had a few appointments for lining up new gigs, all of which went very well and led to much planning and time management on the ol' calendar when I got home to be sure everything gets done on time.
Until next year!

Upcoming book stuff
Taking a break from my work and perusing Amazon, I noticed a few books that will feature my designs are available for preorder-- yay!
Vogue Knitting on the Go Shawls 2
Vogue Knitting on the Go Grannies, I did 2 projects for this one
Luxury One Skein Wonders, also tech edited so don't kill me if a mistake slips through!
Knit on Down, description is wrong, it's all top down patterns, not afghans , did 2 projects for this one too
and last but not least,
Socks a la Carte which I tech edited but didn't design for per se, though I did help out with selecting some of the stitch patterns, etc.

Tech Editing Day
Today is one big ol' day of tech editing for moi. Am I ready, let's see?
Diet Coke? Check.
Laptop and comfy chair? Check.
Calculator, tape measure, scrap yarn and hook (for testing tricky stitch patterns)? Check.
Big binder o' style sheets, CYCA standards, etc? Check.
Big box o' projects? Check.
When I'm done with a good sized load, I'll reward myself with some knitting (design stuff, yes, but still fun!)
