Since the book I co-wrote with Adrienne Armstrong was originally published in 2009, it’s been republished in a couple of other countries. This is always fun to see but even though this was my 5th book to write (6th was Craft Corps, and I’m currently working on my 7th), it’s the first time that I’ve had one translated into another language. This makes me so happy, I can’t even tell you! And although I haven’t seen more than the cover, I’m thrilled to show the cover of what is now the Finnish version of AwareKnits!
The Brits were apparently not fond of the American title (it wasn’t my choice either, to be honest), so they re-named it. Having a different name makes promoting the book internationally a wee bit more of a challenge for me, but I’m happy that AwareKnits is available across the pond, in any form!
If you need it in Froggy Froggy French…let me know, I’ll translate the text for you! I am a Canon/your fan so I’d be more than willing to help. Ask Kim she knows who I am dwarfy
I am devastated by the loss of @hillcountryweavers founder, Susanne 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....
When I came across this Knitting Needle Patent greeting card by @patentpress , I couldn’t resist selecting it as one of the items for the YarnYAY! September box! (Link in @vickiehowell bio or got to YarnYAY.com)
What looks like part circular knitting needle, part Tunisian crochet hook is illustrated as the patent drawing for flexible knitting needles. This greeting card memorializes the creation of tools that we stitchers can now, not do without!...
The sample yarn for both palettes of this year’s 12 Days of YAY! Advent Box have arrived. I cannot wait for stitchers to open up a new color everyday!
I don’t want to spoil the shade surprises, but I can share just how much yarn we’re sending you this year — FIFTEEN mini hanks of beautifully hand dyed yarn, by two rad boss-lady dyers.
Historically, we have sold out of these so I’d you’re prone to FOMO, be sure to pre-order tour 12 Days of YAY!
Nineteen years into this knitting career, it’s crazy-pants that I’ve never had Learn to Knit or Learn to Crochet kits before. So, I finally made it happen. If you know someone, or ARE someone that wants to learn — while also making something wearable— check out our new hats and scarves kits in the YarnYAY! Shop!

Very cool!
I would be reading the english version but this is SO amazing!!! Congrats Vickie!!!
As an Aussie, I think I prefer the British title, but then, we can go either way!
