I’m delighted to announce my new collection Whimsical Little Knits Book 2. Once again you can pre-order and receive a pdf of a new pattern in the collection every week. The final book will ship on or before November the 1st and you can choose just the digital version or both the printed and digital versions.

damson-3

The first pattern in the new collection is Damson and it’s available right now.

This is fabulous, and I happen to have a skein of sock yarn that I was wondering what to do with. This will be perfect. Can’t wait to see what else you add to the book.

another great shawl – you were knitting on a blue one when I saw you at Classic Elite Yarn in Lowell – are you putting that pattern in your book?

Just downloaded it and came to say thank you for the stitch count chart. I did something similar in Excel for my Ishbel and found it really helpful. Can’t wait to cast-on.

Lovely! Can’t wait for the new book to come out but I have one question. Do you ever sleep??? You seem much too busy to do anything but cat nap.

As the song says, we’ve picked ourselves a plum, a “Damson”plum! You came along and everything started to hum. Now it’s a real good bet the best is yet to come.
Can’t hardly wait for the entire book. Thank you, thank you.

That’s great news! When I first saw your posts title I thought “wow, she’s having a baby! Where’d she find the time for that?” But I see it’s a baby of a different kind.

I have queued mostly all of the patterns in WLK1 and will definitely look out for the complete 2nd booklet when it comes out. Congratulations.

I was just curious if you’ve an idea when the book might ship out? I’d love to order the digital + print, but may be in the process of moving. Or maybe there’s a way I could change my address later if necessary? I’d hate for it to get lost along the way!

Reply

sarah g August 14, 2009 at 12:50 pm

oops, just re-read the post and saw the Nov 1 date. But any idea about the possibility of changing an address after ordering?

Birgitte August 14, 2009 at 1:26 pm

Love it, it is a fresh take on a shawl.

Maria August 14, 2009 at 4:37 pm

You look so beautiful on the pictures. Back from the US you it seems that you got kind of more adult. Like a magical blonde snow white. And the shawlette is great of course.

Greetings from Germany,
