Okay, I didn't go to TNNA but I know someone who did. Elise Duvekot was at the XRX booth with samples from her upcoming book. I've had to keep the projects under wraps for a long time, sharing only the mostly fuzzy and useless of pictures. Now I can reveal the poster that XRX had (in gigantic form) in their booth, previewing some of the projects in the book.
Are you ready for this?!?
I know that I'm only a teensy bit biased, but isn't it gorgeous!??! I knit that block sweater!!! Also the sweater that you only see the sleeves of (it's actually inside out in the picture - still looks amazing!) and the little orangey square at the bottom is from a silk camisole.
The book is listed on Amazon.com with a preview cover that may or may not be the final cover. I am so excited for this book to hit the streets - a fascinating technique supported by clever and inspiring designs.
Update: Elise is at Stitches Midwest and will be in the XRX booth with the garments from the book and demonstrating the technique.
And - the cover has been finalized! I swear - I am getting all verklempt!!
If you're going to Stitched Midwest, please stop by the booth and say "hey" to Elise for me. She moved back to Holland a few weeks ago and though we've talked on the phone I really miss her.

Stitch 'n Pitch '08
That's where Amanda & I will hanging out with Joan, Cindy, Carole, Jocelyn, Bev and a whole whack of other knitters who may or may not be baseball enthusiasts. I haven't entirely decided on my project(s), but there is no shortage of contenders. Here are a few pics from last year - will you be there tonight?
