I Can Neither Confirm Nor Deny
I may, just possibly, have received notification that a package is on its way to my house. That package could, just maybe, have the very first copy of KCC2 in it (because my printer is very very very nice and likes me and wants me to have it early to pet and possibly nuzzle). The tracking number says it should be delivered at 10:30 tomorrow morning. I'm considering spending the morning on the porch, just in case. Possibly with a butterfly net and a pair of field glasses, just to add to the look.
The Plan!
I'm thrilled to announce that I finally have an official schedule for the upcoming release of The Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet, Volume II. Just like last time, I'll be doing a preorder period. Now I know placing a preorder is a bit of an act of trust, so I've planned some special deals for folks who want to get in early. I want to spell it all out here, ahead of time, so you can make your plans and ask any questions. So, without further ado, The Plan (and remember, whenever you buy a paper copy of any of my books [...]
Giveaway Winner
Debby S, whose favorite pattern of Sivia's is the lovely Tibetan Clouds Stole, is the winner of The Book of Cowls. I will be in touch with her shortly to get her information so she can cast on soon! And, in more panic-inducing news, it's just about time to open up pre-orders for KCC2. I'll be back on Monday with all the details of when that will start and how it will work. In the meantime, I have to go check and double check and triple check the website and finalize a few other plans to make sure things go [...]
Proofs
This is what the last day or two has looked like (with the cup of tea being refreshed as needed...I'm not still on the one from Tuesday). These are the proofs for the book. Proofs are sort of a trial run for the finished thing. I send the files off to the printer, the printer runs off a version of the files using their printers and their inks and their paper, and then they send them back to me. I look them over to make sure what seemed like a lovely golden yellow on my screen didn't turn out to [...]
Character Building
The proofs of Knitter's Curiosity Cabinet, Volume II have arrived from the printer. They are sitting on my desk. Unopened. It feels wrong to open them by myself, so I'm waiting 'til The Boy is home from work. Just for context, they arrived at 9:00am. It's going to be a long wait. I'm considering calling with some sort of terrible emergency (ninja rodent invasion? attack tarantulas? kitten spirit possession?) that would require him to come home immediately, but that seems against the spirit of the thing. So I wait. But folks...this means the book is almost ready for you.
