AKA KnittinJen

Pen name, AKA, alter-ego: you choose the prefix, but you can also find me writing about my knitting adventures at the new Patons blog. Go check it out for yourself. And while you stop by there, make a comment now and again. Don't forget to check out the patterns and yarns. They are yummy!

Reveal

This will be quick, as it is very late and tomorrow is another full day of work.

To reveal the news I wrote of a few weeks ago. Head on over to the new Patons Yarns blog where I am one of the regulars writing and knitting for them. Then give us a little shout out! We're craving some comments over there. There are three of us regulars who are working on some fun patterns from Patons and will be knitting and chatting about said knitting for months to come. Stop on by, we look forward to seeing you.

Be careful, though, there are some great free patterns to be had.

Awwww

It cracks me up when a baby's hat slips down over their eyes. Babies tend to not think this is so funny, but at this moment in time this baby was sleeping. (Boy C at eight weeks.)

And just so I don't show preferential treatment here they all are together.

Really big news

While I won't divulge the yarn company's name just yet I can share some really big news with y'all: A yarn company contacted me (ME!) to be one of three people to write for their new blog! Here's the offer: They present pattern options to me (from their extensive list), I choose the pattern I want to knit and they supply that pattern and yarn (also of my choice). They also offer a yarn stipend (payment in YARN!). Weekly, a new blog post from each of the contributors who write about the adventures in yarn, pattern, and the like. And a new project about every month. My first project is going to be some nice felted slippers and the yarn and pattern is on its way to me.

Whooohooo!

The blog is slated to kick off June 15th. As soon as I get the go-ahead I will most certainly post the link.

Another Whooohooo can't hurt, can it?

WHOOOHOOO!
