Yarnplay!
look what arrived on friday! my editor didn't even tell me that it was on its way, so it was a total shock! i am really, really thrilled. i thought it would feel less surreal... actually holding the finished book in my hands. nope! it still feels pretty surreal! i am really, really happy!!
in other news, i have something else brewing that i can't report just yet. send good vibes... (you guys always do and it works!!!)
other than super secret stuff and mimi's Rock Opera gloves, nothing new on the needles.
i may be coming to philadelphia for a little visit soon. stay tuned.
Ooh! I can't wait until September! And I absolutely want that complete outfit shown on the front of the book...that sweater and those boots...*swoon*

I didn't believe that it was possible to be THIS excited for someone that I don't even know. But I am. Congrats, girlie.

Congratulations! I've been looking forward to your book and if the sweater on the cover is any indication of the goodness within, I can hardly wait!
(Wait until you see it in a book store. It's even more surreal.)

Congrats on the first copy. I've got mine on preorder with Amazon, too. You must have FREAKED when you took it out of the box/envelope/packaging.
Coming East, huh?
