Artemisia is on tour!

 

Have you stopped by the Rock and Purl blog today for the Artemisia blog tour?

We’re talking about engineering top-down set-in sleeves!

Yesterday, I guest posted at Mixed Martial Arts and Crafts to talk about overcoming the fears of new knitting techniques.

Where did Mercedes go? (She's writing a book.)

So now that it’s all VERY official, I can safely tell you:

I’M WRITING A @#*&ING BOOK!!!!

Really! With an editor, and a publisher, and a terrifyingly large word count! I’m both elated and scared. Both of those feelings are probably valid.

What’s it about? I can’t tell you yet.

Who is it with? Interweave Press. They are my favorite people. It felt like a perfect fit.

When will it be out? Many moons from now. Books take a long time, y’all!

My tiny apartment is already filling up with yarn for projects. I’m swatching, and planning, and ordering yet more yarn. I’ll do my best to keep posting here, but to keep book contents top secret, it will probably be more random posts about life and creativity. The newsletter will still go out, I’m aiming for once a month to keep y’all in the loop and entertained.

I’m glad you’re with me on my grand adventure! This is going to be amazing!
