So, here we are…
Here we are, after a lengthy absence, and I have some news to share.
My absence began with my grandfather becoming ill, which weeks later turned into an absence because my grandfather passed away. My family has been dealing with all the things families deal with when a loved one is no longer around. We’re all slowly readjusting to life without him, which is hard, but harder when I think about how something so exciting that just happened is the first thing I’m not able to share with him.
That exciting news is that I received word that I’ll have a design published in Interweave Crochet, Winter ’09! I sent two swatches, and received an email from the editor that they want one of the two, and that they would like the finished pieced to be much larger than my initial plans. It’s super exciting, and I can’t wait to get started, but we still need to finalize the contract and discuss yarns.
So what have you been up to while I’ve been gone?
I’m so sorry about your grandfather, but your news about Interweave Crochet are really exciting. I’ll be sure to look for your design!
I myself have been knitting more than I’ve been crocheting lately, and I was excited to get back into crochet, but I can’t find my hooks. They seem to have gotten misplaced during my move back from school. I’m sure they’ll show up soon though. :)
thinking of you, bb. I send you hugs.
I’m sorry about your grandfather, big hugs for you.
How exciting is it that you will be published. I can’t wait to find it.
I also wanted to thank you for inspiring me to crochet again. I just love, love, love your podcast and I look forward to them. Keep up the inspiring and yet comfortable podcasts, Thank You
Sorry to hear about your loss – Grand parents are so special it’s so hard when they pass away.
Congratulations on getting published – it’s really great to see you’ve managed it and I look forward to seeing what gorgousness you’ve created :)
