This winter (2016-'17) I have been busy with my day job, which involves knitting. I teach knitting, knit project samples for a store, and design original projects. I am also wrapping up my assignments for an instructor-level certification required by the store where I teach. But all that info is just meant to lead up to my announcement that I have had a design accepted to a national magazine! My "Rainy Day Reading Socks" will be published in the Winter 2017 edition of Creative Knitting, available at newstands October 3 or so. Squeee!
Now the hard work begins. This will be the first time I am writing a pattern using the technical terms and numbers associated with the profession. And, since I no longer have the original socks, I have to re-knit them using the magazine's preferred yarn.
Bottom line: I need to step away from s w a t c h m o n s t e r for a little while, maybe 3 months. There are already some new upcycled projects in my queue, just waiting to be photographed.
Until then, use -- don't chuck -- those swatches!
