Purls of Wisdom

i have some exciting news! that's right, i've been keeping a little secret from you all. no, it's not another baby. at least, not mine.

exciting news!

i was contacted by Jenny Lord last august about a knitting book she was putting together, asking if it would be all right to include one of my patterns! it took me all of five seconds to answer yes, and i'm so glad i did. working with Jenny has been a dream, and most importantly, the hard work and dedication she's put into this book really shows. i'm so proud to share Purls Of Wisdom with you all, published by Penguin Books. the book is available now through Amazon UK, but no word yet on when it will be available this side of the pond. my copy is on its way now, and I can't wait to flip through it. the patterns look amazing, including talented knitters like Jenny Lord herself, Anna and Heidi Pickles, Juju Vail, Ruth Cross, Rebecca Danger, Rose Sharp Jones, and Debbie Orr - what an honor! this book of simple knits couldn't have been released at a better time too - them holiday gifts aren't going to knit themselves, are they, elly?
