Updates
Sooooo, anyone wanna see what’s sitting on my shelf?
That looks suspiciously like a book. A real live physical book. The kind with ink and pages. The kind you can pick up and hold and sniff and give yourself a papercut with. And guys…it’s likely immodest to say this, but wow does it look good. I love the e version too, but somehow the paper one always wins first place in my heart.
So, what does this mean for the folks who have ordered the book? Well, the ones on the shelf are the author advance copies (the printer sends a tiny stack to the author before the big shipment goes out). I can’t send you those. There aren’t enough to go around, and I’m too busy petting them. But, the good news is that the rest of the books have reached the distributor, and they should start shipping out late next week. I’ll keep you updated as things progress, but it’s looking like everything should be in the mail before June 15!
Which brings me to one little reminder. Up until now, the physical book has been offered at a pre-order discount. Next week, when the book starts shipping, the discount will end. So if you’ve been holding off on ordering because you wanted a firmer shipping date, but you still want the discount, this is the time to order. And, on a similarly administrative note, the summer sale ends tonight, so if you’re looking for any individual patterns, this is a good chance to stock up.
I’m drooling on my keyboard!
Well be sure it doesn’t get on the yarn…keyboards wash, yarn can be trickier.
How exciting! This is at the top of my list of knitting books to get; I didn’t pre order because shipping was just too much to canada. 🙁 Hope to see it soon locally because I’ve been itching to buy this since I saw the patts. Congrats on getting this baby out!
Yeah, I hate how expensive it is to ship internationally. Alas, the rates are set by the post office, and I’m not quite cool enough to get them to change the price! I figure the tradeoff for the shipping is that you can get the electronic version free if you buy it there, but I understand that doesn’t work for everyone.
The good news is that your local yarn store should be able to order it for you. It’s being carried by Unicorn, and it’s available now. Just tell your yarn store you want it, and they’ll know what to do!
Okay, I’m finally drooling enough that I just went and bought the ebook 🙂 I’d love to have the physical copy to drool over too, but experience has taught me that when I have both an ebook and a physical copy, the ebook is what really gets used a lot more.
That’s a beautiful photo… the hands only slightly creepy 😉 It must be an amazing feeling to have a real live book that you created.
Ahhh, so exciting! I’ve actually been holding off on looking at the e-book b/c I want the pleasure of flipping through the real thing… can’t wait!
Oh good to know about the lys. I will definitely check it out!
