Daily Fiber, Raising Funds, and Knitting Love

Get Your Daily Fiber
Photo: Pamela Bethel

This past Saturday, my good friend and photographer Pamela Bethel and I had a photo shoot for the follow-up to Get Hooked - it'll come out in about a year. (We don't have a title yet! Soon...) Imagine my amusement when I discovered this behind-the-scenes shot also features Modern Yarn's awesome Daily Fiber t-shirt (it's one of my faves). Shannon and I will be stopping there on our tour next month, so come on by to get your own! And also, come on by to say hi! And to get a book signed! And to chill out for a couple hours!

Speaking of which, there's only a short time left to help us raise $10,000 for *** cancer research. Please donate today! Every small amount counts SO much.

And on that note, please help us spread the word. Swipe that button in the sidebar and post it to your blog. There are a lot of us participating in the Run For The Cure (even if we plan to walk), and we're hoping to get fiber loving women and men all across the internet involved in supporting this very important cause.

Speaking of knitting + crochet love, the new issue of Knitty is up, and they mention Get Hooked as a “fun thing that caught [their] eye,” along with Amy Swenson's new book, Not Your Mama's Crochet. I love Knitty.

I just had one of those hitting-hand-to-head moments. I live only 25 minutes from Montclair, but your tour is on a Monday! Eeeck. Must....work...that....day. Oh darnit.

Even if it's Columbus Day? (Crossing fingers you'll slap your head again and be able to come!)

Omigosh--what a great picture--and so much better than the crazy shots we took in the middle of the night at TNNA!

congratulation on the shout-out in knitty. one of these days you will publish a book with me as the target demographic, won't you?

and guess what, i'm going to be co-teaching a crochet class this fall at graceful stitches -- the yarn store where i volunteer.

Yeah. We have Yom Kippur off, but not Columbus. It was an even exchange because we had a couple Jewish families who had issues with that day being a religious day for them (but we had Christmas off which is religious).

Perhaps I'll be coughing a lot the night before?

Thanks, peeps!

From their site, it looks like Modern Yarn is planning to sell the shirts online soon... (Click the tab for Goods at the top of the page.)
