\"TwiceAsSexy-SM-72\"<\/a>Remember when I said<\/a> I’d post photos of the new necktie once I had them? Well, here you go. OK, this version is made for a double-Windsor knot so it’s longer, and neither of us could remember how to tie one, so it hangs long, but it’s far and away better than me modeling it.<\/p>\n

The book is now almost fully laid out, and more than half of the patterns have been tech-edited. In the next month, I have to keep tweaking things and finalize all the little details like ISBN and front- and back-matter. In addition, as I mentioned before, I have to get my e-commerce site up and running one way or the other — which brings me to my preorder mailing list<\/a> again.<\/p>\n

This will be the last blog post I make for the preorder mailing list<\/a>. By next month, I’ll have the preorder page up and running and the preorder list will have served its purpose. As a reminder, if you get on the preorder mailing list, you’re going to get some kind of perk. I was hoping to get enough people to justify dropping the price on the book but we’re just not there yet. An exclusive pattern is more likely — and I have one waiting in the wings for just this kind of use. One way or another, you’ve got a couple of weeks to join the list<\/strong> before the preorder period starts — and, as a reminder, people on the list will have the first chance to order and I will be fulfilling them in the order I receive them.<\/p>\n

If you have had trouble joining the list<\/strong> due to technical difficulties at Mailchimp, please let me know. You’re not alone — a handful of people have emailed me with these issues. I don’t know what’s causing it but if you can’t get on the list for whatever reason, just email me with your full name and I’ll add you manually.<\/p>\n

Finally, here’s another possible cover, after there were complaints that the first one had too much black\/dark space. I think I’m leaning toward this one and I hope you like it too.<\/p>\n
