I am so
very excited to announce the arrival of my first book-
Month by Month Dishcloths!
I am equally embarrassed to confess that it was published last August(2014), and that it has taken me this long to post its arrival on my blog, and on
Ravelry ...
These are 2 of my favorites. I think they would make a great wedding shower gift, or great wedding favors!
But, happily, the delay is not because I have a been world class procrastinator, but more because I have been so busy with other book and magazine projects.
When I was approached with the request to design a booklet of 24 crocheted dishcloths, I was both thrilled- and surprised. Up until to that point in my design career, I had mostly submitted complex and difficult patterns- usually knit with relatively fine needles.
Designing with bulkier yarn, and in crochet was a new venture for me, and I am delighted to say it was wonderful. I loved the instant gratification of a small project, and the relaxing process of working a simpler design.
It was quite a shock to walk into my local
Joann Fabric and Craft store and see my booklet on the shelves! I was also really excited to see that it is now for sale on a number of great yarn and craft websites.
It is such relief to have had the time today to blog about this book! Next post, I hope to catch up to some of the other fun projects that have kept me away from the computer: )
And I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to Trisha Malcolm, Alexandra Joinnides and Vanessa Putt, for giving me this opportunity, and for being understanding when I kept calling asking for "just a little more time, please"... and to Jack Deutsch whose great photos made the simple, sublime.
But, of course, I am most grateful for the readers who have made it down to the end of this post. Yes, it is now fall, and my last post was in February. Thank you!
