It's In The Bag is "In The Bag!"

Yes, my 2nd book is now in print! I was caught by surprise when I received my advance copy of It's In The Bag- Knitting Projects to Take & Make in yesterday's mail. Tops & Toes was such a baptism by fire in so many ways, helping me to really put "my groove on" with this book! It's In The Bag is all about how to travel with your knitting. I decided that this book was such a perfect and timely concept, because what knitter doesn't love to have the perfect project in tow?

The book is officially on sale August 10th, but you can pre-order your copy now on Annie's Attic, Borders Books or Barnes & Noble. Once the buzz really gets going, don't miss the fun, because there will be another blog book tour and another Della Q bag giveaway!

Tops & Toes is Here!

The long awaited DRG/House of White Birches Book: Tops & Toes: A Whimsical Collection for Hat and Sock Knitters is finally here. I received my advance copy yesterday. When I heard the UPS man beep that horn, I couldn't get to the door quick enough!

What makes this book so unique, is that it's a comprehensive collection of sock and hat knitting patterns, geared toward knitters of every level. The Techniques section walks the knitter through each step of the process, making it easy for novice knitters to tackle any project presented in the book.

More exciting news: stay tuned for the Tops & Toes Blog Tour, scheduled to launch on February 15th. I will interview the designers about what was behind their inspiring creations, and other exciting little tid bits! Some of the featured blogs: PieKnits, Yarnartist and Yarn Spinner. Be sure to visit knitbits on 2/14 for the tour itinerary!

Order your copy here, and don't forget to bookmark knitbits to follow the tour!
