It’s here! I’m so very excited for the brand new release of my talented friend Andrea Rangel’s newest book - Knitovation Stitch Dictionary!!!! The Knitovation Stitch Dictionary ”includes more than 150 brand new colorwork motifs to expand knitters' creative possibilities and draw them further into the world of stranded knitting with clever, quirky, and beautiful motifs including botanicals, animals, and geometric patterns.” But that’s not all it is. Andrea includes that and so much more!
Andrea has written an invaluable and trustworthy resource that both sparks a knitters imagination and demystifies knitting modern colorwork motifs. Knitovation guides you through choosing the right yarn for colorwork as well as how to incorporate the motifs into patterns “you” create. It brings a fresh joy to any knitters library and really - who can say no to feeling inspired by such a wonderful book filled with motifs to satisfy any whim!
If you've read my blog or follow me on social media you know I love books. And by love - I mean loooooove. I truly enjoy holding a book in my hands and slowly savouring and relishing in each page. I'm a total bookworm and will happily always be that way. Even though I'm a knitwear designer I still grab any chance to read. Whether it be while knitting or after hours, I've always got at least a few books on the go ranging from fiction to health/nonfiction. You know that feeling you get when reading a fiction book you're beyond excited to dive into? It's sooo good right? Well, I also get that feeling when I find fabulous knitting books. What's even better is when that fabulous knitting book is written by your equally as fabulous friend.
That moment when you flip open a copy of Knit.Wear and see your book on Page 5 with Norah Gaughan!!!!! Seriously friends! Can we just say I about passed right out?! Pinch me now!!!! I must be dreaming!!
This is such a huge highlight in my career and one that means so much to Jane and myself. Being a small, independent publisher and seeing our book featured in a huge magazine was a moment that I'll never forget! I'm truly beyond thankful for all of your support of Within and all of our titles. It really does mean more than I can ever say - so thank you so much!
It's no secret that I'm a fan of Hannah Fettig's (of KnitBot) patterns and her books. I adore her clean aesthetic and styling and was happy to see her newest book - Texture: Exploring Stitch Patterns in Knitwear, is filled with patterns that allow what Hannah does best shine!
THANK YOU sooooo much for all the lovely and supportive response to our new book Within: Knitting Patterns to Warm the Soul! I'm giving you all huge virtual hugs...lol! Seriously, I cannot say thank you enough for all the kind and sweet words. It truly means so much how you've all embraced the book and supported us - so thank you! It fills my heart and I feel so blessed to be part of such a wonderful, supportive and loving community.
It's here - today is the day! Yay!Within: Knitting Patterns to Warm the Soulis now available! I'm so beyond excited and literally cannot wait for you all to see the new book! This book holds such a special place in my heart and I really hope you will all enjoy our newest collection as much as we do. Over the next few weeks I'll be sharing more about Within and the patterns that are in it and the stories/inspirations behind them. I cannot wait to see what lovelies you cast on and to hear your thoughts about Within.
Oh my gosh you guys!!!! I've been waiting for this day so long! I'm so beyond excited to give you a sneak peek of our newest book "WITHIN: Knitting Patterns to Warm the Soul", by myself and Jane Richmond - coming October 5th!!!! EEEEEEEK!!!! I hope you all will love it as much as we do. We poured our hearts and souls into this one and are so happy with how this lovely new collection turned out!
I'm beyond thrilled and excited to be giving a way a copy of my dear friend Anna Graham's new book "Handmade Style: 23 Must-Have Basics to Stitch, Use and Wear" today. Her blog Noodlehead, is and has been, one of my top five reads for as long as I've been reading blogs. Handmade Style is just as addicting and stays true to her wonderful aesthetic and style.
Jane and I are heading on a bit of a road trip this weekend and we thought it only fitting to have a fun sale to celebrate! We're offering 20% off of all of the individual patterns and eBooks published by our company - Marian Rae Publications! That means SEASONLESS, JOURNEY & ISLAND are all on sale!
