Off and running...

Today is a pretty exciting day for me. I'm off to the post office to mail my newest design sample to the lovely folks who want to publish it! I'm really happy with the design and I hope they will be too. It's due to be released this summer and I just can't wait to share it with everyone. I wonder if I can post a teaser? I'll have to look into that.

In the meantime, my patterns are now available through Coveted Yarns in Gloucester, MA in addition to being sold through Ravelry. They are the first retail store to ask to carry my designs and I think it's pretty amazing. They were launched during the North Shore Yarn Crawl last month and recently were added to Coveted Yarns' online catalog as well.

Coveted Yarns is my LYS and they are a great shop to have down the street. The selection of yarns is incredible and Robert, the owner, is adding more lines almost daily. If they don't have what I'm looking for in stock then he's always willing to place an order for me. Oh, and I need to mention that they have a treasure trove of Brown Sheep overstocks. Can you say large man's wool sweater for under $50? I like to enhance my stash with sweater quantities now and again.

In other news, I've got a new, non-knitting project underway for a change. I've always loved creating clothing for children and I'm finally at a point where I can start to explore that more fully. I've got a sweet selection of dresses for little girls that I am creating for just for summer. They are one of a kind confections and such a treat to create. I'm looking forward to sharing them.
