As if my chair arse wasn’t big enough already, I’ll now be spending even more time sitting at my computer. I just signed-on as the knitting editor for CraftGossip.com. You know, ’cause I loves me the knitting and just can’t get enough of talking about it! 😉
Seriously though, I’m excited to be a part of such a great network of crafty scoop! Speaking of, if you’ve got any, spill it! You know my gig: knitting is all about community, so I want to promote your stuff by mentioning it when it’s appropriate. Designers, authors, publishers, artists, mag editors, etc–e-mail me with any exciting knit-news. Got a new book out? I might review it! Is your yarn-tastic sculpture exhibiting at a local museum? Do tell! Just discover how to spin yarn out of potting soil? Fantastic! Just give me the skinny at: gossip@vickiehowell.com, and I’ll post it if time/space/relevance all align.
I’ll be posting about 5 times a week over there, so stop on by!

It’s hard to believe it’s already been almost a year since Vickie’s Wednesday’s Snood pattern came out. We’re excited, though, to be able to revisit it with our new kits! Snap to it! (Link in bio, or go to YarnYAY.com)...
I am devastated by the loss of @hillcountryweavers founder, Suzanne Middlebrooks.
I wrote a longer tribute to her on my blog and Facebook (links in bio). In short, though, she had been sick for a long time but had been a master at not letting the illness get in the way of her living. So, it was often unimaginable that she wouldn't be with us for longer. Last June during an industry convention in Chicago when Susanne came over to the bar booth I was sitting at and plopped herself next to me to chat, I had no idea that it would be the last time I'd get to see her. I'm so thankful though, that when we parted ways to go back to our respective meetings, it was with a hug. Rest in purls, my friend....
Awesome! On my way over now…
Just noticed the KnittyGritty Knitsters box!! Yay!!
