I&#8217;ve been out of touch while I&#8217;ve been in the home stretch on the book. My deadline was a few days ago &#8212; but it was also Amanda&#8217;s birthday, and my publisher is a little behind on her previous project, and graciously gave me a little extra time. I&#8217;ll have the manuscript in her hands this weekend. Then the fun begins!<\/p>\n<p>Also, Lela Nargi is publishing a book which mentions my work! I did an email interview with her some months ago, and sent some photos. I hope everything comes out well! It&#8217;s both humbling and inspiring to be mentioned alongside all these other great and groundbreaking knitters.<\/p>\n<p>Go check out <a href=\"http:\/\/lelanarginews.blogspot.com\/2011\/03\/meanwhile-back-in-land-of-knitting.html\" target=\"_blank\">Astounding Knits<\/a> at Lela Nargi&#8217;s website now, and put it on your list of books to pre-order (along with mine!) when it&#8217;s available.<\/p>\n<p>Next weekend (March 12th and 13th) I will be at <a href=\"http:\/\/fibercampboston.pbworks.com\" target=\"_blank\">FiberCamp Boston<\/a>, teaching basic double-knitting and two circular needle techniques. Last year&#8217;s event was great fun and I hope for an even better turnout this year. Come learn, teach or just hang out with other fiber enthusiasts &#8212; registration is still up!<\/p>\n<p>On March 26th, I will be making an appearance at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mindseyeyarns.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mind&#8217;s Eye Yarns<\/a> in Cambridge for the Red Line Yarn Crawl. I&#8217;ll be showing off my new creations, talking up my book, selling a few patterns and taking names for contact when &#8220;Extreme Double Knitting&#8221; is available for pre-order. Also, Amanda will be there doing knitter-centric chair massages and hand massages!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, just a quick update!
