Lots Going on at the Store!

First of all, YAY!, the new Interweave KNITS issue is out. And I'd like to toot my own horn for a minute here. I had the great pleasure and honor of interviewing designer Deborah Newton for this issue. She has designed, among other things, hundreds-- probably more like thousands-- of sweaters over the years. She also has authored a bunch of books and one of them, Designing Knitwear is a regular Bible for folks who want to learn how to design their own garments.

Deb is passionate and delightful and talking to her made me want to drop everything and become a designer myself. (This will have to remain a fantasy, given my aesthetic limitations and propensity to knit hats that look like roasted chickens.) Of all she told me, I think what I liked best was her insistence that you never have to rip anything out, you can just fix it. It's a terrific theory. You can pick up the new issue at the checkout desk at Hill Country Weavers
