Here’s Something a Bit Surreal…
Dec 11th
There is now a listing for my book on Amazon! It’s not coming out until June, but for those who just CANNOT wait, you can apparently pre-order the book six months in advance.
I’ve seen the close-to-final layouts for the whole book, and I just love how it’s turning out. (Wish I didn’t have six more months to wait!)
Sleeping Nipsey
Dec 10th
Warning: gratuitous kitty post!
Nipsey the Cat loves to sleep on my lap, and I love to quietly take pictures of him sleeping. Sometimes he sleeps on his left side…
And sometimes on his right side…
No, maybe that left side was better…
All that napping wears a cat out!
So yes, my productivity is still down these days due to fuzzy cuteness.
Talk at Knitty City Tonight!
Dec 10th
Just a reminder that I’ll be at Knitty City in NYC tonight (12/10) as part of their “young designers” series of talks. I’m planning to bring some little knitted friends with me and I’ll also share some sneak previews of my book. It’s a free event, so please come out if you’re in the area!
Luv-able & Hug-able Opening
Dec 9th
It was a great opening at gallery hanahou last Thursday for “Luv-able & Hug-able!”
There were so many cute plushes there! I took home this “Snowflake” guy on the left, by Eerika Valkonen…
And the little bitty bearded one at the top right here, made by Yuriko Sera:
Keighty Crochet was also there, and so was Katie Park—we talked knitted toy design, which is something I don’t get to do as often as I would like.
Check out more photos from the opening at the gallery’s Flickr page. And all of the plushes are now available online!
Here is the obligatory photo of me posing next to my factories.
I’m already starting to think about what I’ll make for next year’s show…
