yarn forward #28

Have you seen the September 2010 issue of Yarn Forward???
(yes, I KNOW it’s only the middle of July… and YES… the SEPTEMBER issue IS out already)
Anyway… it features one of my knitting patterns!
I’m such a newbie to the world of print publication… and this is all so wildly EXCITING to me!!! The hard part though, is keeping it a secret until the magazine is published. It’s months and months and months from the time a submission is accepted by the magazine, until it actually appears in print. And all that time, I have to keep it a secret from you guys!!!
Which is insanely difficult – because I’ve become quite accustomed to sharing my crafty exeriences with you. I tell you guys EVERYTHING!
Almost impossible to be designing… and drafting… and stitching… and photographing… and pattern writing… and NOT breathe a word about it to anyone.
All the while, I am totally ecstatic about it – and have no one to share the joy with. Mr Goldfish is a a gem, and he really tries to be supportive, but he just doesn’t get the whole craft thing the way that you do.
Can’t wait for my contributor copy to arrive…
Here’s a preview of the magazine.
And here she is… my kokeshi doll…

Congratulations! I’m inspired….I’m working on opening an online and hopefully once established a mobile wool shop and seeing what you do and how much you love your crafting is keeping me motivated! I will buy this issue as a keepsake
