And Now…
Alright. You’ve been patient. Well, no. You haven’t. You’ve been almost as impatient as I have. But really — that is even better than being patient, because that means you guys are excited too. So now for the promised information.
As of today, we are taking preorders for the book Silk Road Socks: 14 Patterns Inspired by Oriental Rugs!
You can place orders over at Silk Road Socks. The book will be available in traditional print form and also in a variety of electronic formats. All the details are spelled out on the book’s site (where you’ll also find sneak peeks of many of the socks).
In the meantime, we’ve got a little advance screening for those of you who can’t wait till the book is out. We’re releasing one pattern, Serab, early. If you want to get a hold of it right this very minute, you’ve got two options. You can buy it as an individual pattern (the same way you’d buy any of my other patterns). Or, if you preorder the book, you get the pattern now for free. There are a couple of preorder options, so take a look and see what works best for you.
We’re only making the pattern available during the month of October. After that, you can still preorder the book, but you’ll have to wait till December when the book comes out to get the pattern.
How pretty!!!!! I was so excited to see the book’s website too! 🙂 Its really going to happen!!!! 🙂
Yee ha! I have preordered the book in both formats. I think the physical book will be a work of art, but in terms of utitlity, the PDF patterns work for me. So I’m getting both.
I’m super excited about these. What a great way to make a slight dent in my stash. Thanks so much for this. I can’t wait until the book ships in December.
The book looks amazing! Congratulations.
Wooo! Preordered! Now I have to wait till december? awwwww come on! Just the sneak peeks have me all tingly with wool sock anticipation… I’m not sure I’ll make it Hunter 😉
Oh, so pretty! The website is great – I like the little sneak peeks! Congrats 🙂
How fast do my fingers click? Oh yes!
YES, YES, YES!!!!
I notice that there is a version for an electronic reader. But can you combine it with the print version, much like the PDF? I’d be interested in getting the physical book and a copy for my iPad.
Alas, no. The way the licensing works for the digital readers apparently means we can’t do that (as it stands now, it’s always possible the truth may change in the future). We can only combine the print version with the pdf (though many electronic devices can open pdfs). Sorry!
Such a beautiful pattern! You did a fantastic job and the colours are wonderful.
