The blog is BACK

It took longer than I'd thought (what doesn't, these days?), but the blog is back! And if we figure it correctly, you shouldn't have to update your RSS feed. (Please let me know if your RSS reader isn't recognizing this feed.) I've had to enable a new spam filter, so please be patient if you encounter any glitches, and please let me know if you do.

I'm in sunny San Diego for the TNNA trade show, and you may not hear much from me till early next week.

I'll leave you with this image. When my plane arrived this morning (*cough* an hour late), I dragged my groggy self into my rental Kia and went straight to a Borders to see our book (4 of them!) on a shelf for the first time. It was very, very cool.

My book, in a store.

But wait! There's one more thing. A thing I mentioned in the last email newsletter, but should have mentioned here as well. Interweave Knits has teamed up with TNNA and Einstein Bagels to collect red scarves to send to foster kids in college. It's a pretty great project, which Amy of Knitty has summed up much better than my overtired fingers can now. Read it fast! The deadline is fast approaching. I started my scarf on the plane:

We just got your book in at the store I work at and it is without a doubt the BEST beginning crochet book Ive seen. I teach most of the crochet classes at my store and I will be recommending it to everyone looking for a good crochet book!

Good work!

Jennifer, thank you so much! I am thrilled that you like it, and I hope your students learn a ton from it (and from you!)!

It must be exciting to see your books on the shelf there. You know, they really stand out amongst the others.

You're totally posting from your new PowerBook, aren't you? It's so EASY to take photos & get online with the happy little Mac. Enjoy the show.. look forward to hearing about it. The yarn for the scarf is great, btw!

Hee hee! Yup, Jen, I was posting from my new best friend beautiful PB. That yarn is actually some that was left over from when I worked up the cloche pattern from the book. It's Fleece Artist Silk Aran, and it's as gorgeous as it looks in the photo.

Hi Kim,
I think my RSS reader is not recognizing this feed.
(I never imagined writing the previous sentence, hope it makes sense--I can't get your blog to come up on my Gmail webclips.)

Hi Vashti! Try deleting the old feed and adding this one. My reader picked it up automatically, so maybe there's some minor little detail in there that's holding things up for you. Let me know if that doesn't work!
