Kitty Knits!

Kitty Knits Pages
Hey everyone, here are a couple of pictures from my next, next book, Kitty Knits. This book is coming out from Martingale & Company in January. I haven't added it to my website yet, because I'm waiting for the cover to be designed. But here are a few pages from the page proofs that I reviewed recently.

Ha! The wrap cardigan! Love it. Glad it's in the book.

Yeah, but we had to go with the shorter version of the instructions to get it to fit. So it's marked as "advanced" skill level.

It's totally cool! I didn't know you'd found a publisher. How great. Let me know if I can help promote.

Can't wait to see the book! Is the scarf I knit in it?

You bet the scarf is in it. It looks great, too! I am waiting to get some more pictures from the publisher to add to my website.

Hi, i was doing a search for 'ethnic+knitting+patterns', which gave me your site. Strangely enough, I work as advisor to a Turkish publishing house, and seeing that your work will be soon published, it gave me a very happy smile! ! :) That is just great! I have two patterns from ancient Turkey - the Ephesus region - which include cats, plus other stuff (a woman holding a vase, stars, spiders, etc.) Should you wish to see it, Ý would be more than happy to send you a scan of it (although it is still not quite finished). Let me know.
Keep up the great creativity!

My "head" cat is sitting on my hands, DEMANDING the book, and has recruited her partners in paw to make it impossible for me not to order it!

Having seen the mice in "purrson", I agree that they're totally adorable!
