The Knitter's Book of Yarn, which went on sale October 16, 2007, is a distillation of everything I've learned about yarn on my journey since I learned to knit as a child, and since I began Knitter's Review in 2000.

I've been working on it for more than two years, and I am extremely proud to share it with you now. You'll find more helpful information about the book below.

Thanks for reading—I hope you enjoy it!

In yarn we trust,

Learn more about why and how this book came to be (warning, contains at least two cat pictures). Download the Maine Morning Mitts pattern, a perfect use for small quantities of brightly colored worsted-weight singles! Find out what boo-boos (aka errata) are in the first printing. See alternate views of the projects (photos taken by me and decidedly not as lovely as what you'll see in the book!).

Couldn't make it to the signings in London, Sydney, Singapore, or Dubai? Fear not, new dates are constantly being added to the worldwide press tour calendar.

May 3rd—Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. I'll be on the grassy slope outside the Main Building from 1-2pm. The area is easily accessible through a top-secret side door just beyond the Spirit Trail Fiberworks booth (where Jen will have extra copies of the book available for sale).

June 7-9—Columbus, OH, The National NeedleArts Assocaition trade show.

June 11—Columbus, OH, Knitter's Connection keynote presentation from 7:30-8:30pm.

October 18-19—Virginia Beach, VA, Yarn weekend with the Tidewater Knitting Guild.

If you can't find it at your LYS or local independent bookseller, you can also find it online at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. Because of postage costs, time constraints, and a desire to help support local businesses around the country, I regret that I won't be offering the book in the KR Boutique.

On October 20th, Bess took her copy to town, gave it a shiny new coat, and introduced it to a bunch of knitterary heroines. You can see her slideshow here.
